بورتلاند, مين (سبتمبر 12, 2018) - معارك نيو انغلاند (NEF) سيعقد آخر حدث مختلط للفنون القتالية في 2018, “NEF 36: معركة الذهب,” في.يوم السبت, تشرين الثاني 17 في أورا في بورتلاند, مين. في وقت سابق من اليوم, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s flyweight fight to the card. B.J. Garceau (1-0) is scheduled to face Chelsea Tucker (0-3) في معركة الوزن من 125 جنيه.
B.J. Garceau made national headlines earlier this year as she prepared for her in-cage debut with NEF. Diagnosed with Type-1 juvenile diabetes in 1993, Garceau became an inspiration to those within the diabetic community looking to practice the martial arts. في “NEF 32” فبراير الماضي, she went the distance with Sarah Ziehm (1-2) in a back-and-forth contest, ultimately picking up the win via split-decision on the judges’ بطاقات الأداء. Garceau is a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor, مين.
“When Coach (كريس) Young asked me if I was free November 17th, I thought he wanted me to be the water girl for the guys on the card,” Garceau quipped. “I say this jokingly, but we’ve had some struggles finding match ups for the Young’s WMMA (women’s mixed-martial-arts) team in the past. Me and my girls are hungry to fight. So when he asked if I’d fight Chelsea, who is a warrior that doesn’t back down from anything, of course my answer was ‘yes.’ I adore Chelsea and am ready to put on a hell of a show for the fans, my team and the beautiful city of Portland, Maine this November.”
The casual observer should not let Chelsea Tucker’s record fool them. Scrappy, talented and full of heart, Tucker has come to fight each time she has stepped in the cage. She has appeared four times in the NEF cage, including a non-sanctioned grappling match with Carol Linn Powell that went to a draw last April in Portland. Tucker proudly serves her country as a culinary specialist with the United States Coast Guard stationed in Boothbay, مين. She trains with First Class MMA in Brunswick, مين.
“I am very excited to step back into the cage,” قال تاكر. “I look forward to fighting B.J. هذه ستكون معركة كبيرة, and I look forward to representing my gym and my skill set again in the NEF cage.”
