CONTROVERSIAL FIGHT WILL GET A REMATCH AT NEF 43 IN ORONO

FUN lẹsẹkẹsẹ Tu: Orono, Maine (Kínní 28, 2020) - New England njà (NEF) yoo mu awọn ọna-adapọ-ologun-atẹle rẹ ti o tẹle (MMA) event at the Collins Center for the Arts on the University of Maine’s flagship Orono campus. Awọn iṣẹlẹ, ti akole “NEF 43: Rampage,”Yoo waye ni ọjọ Satidee, April 18, 2020, pẹlu kan Belii-akoko ti 7 pm EDT. Sẹyìn loni, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur flyweight bout to the card. Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (4-0) yoo dojuko James Ploss (1-2) at a fight weight of 125 poun.

The bout will be a rematch of the first fight between Austin and Ploss that took place three years prior in April 2017 at “NEF 28.” Austin was declared the winner of that first contest, but not without controversy. Seconds into the first round, Ploss had a tight guillotine choke applied to Austin. Austin tapped out, but the referee was out of position to see the tap. Ploss released Austin from the hold, thinking he had won the fight. The referee, to Ploss’ bewilderment, ordered the fight to continue. As Ploss tried to make sense of the situation, Austin took him down and finished the fight moments later by technical knockout.

In the days that followed, many were critical of Austin on social media. The matter seemed to die down after a few days, only to be brought back to the forefront with a vengeance late last year when former UFC and WEC star Mike Brown (26-9) shared the clip on Twitter as an example of “fighting until the referee tells you to stop.” Suddenly, the fight received global attention from major online news sources likeBloody ElbowMMA JunkieThe Athletic, atiAwọn tube.

The first fight with Ploss was Caleb Austin’s amateur MMA debut. He was 18-years-old at the time and still a senior at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Austin was a standout wrestler in high school, putting together a record of 208-11 over four years and winning state titles at 126 pounds his junior and senior years. He was named the 2017 “Wrestler of the Yearby the Lewiston Sun Journal. After graduation, Austin continued his wrestling career at the University of Southern Maine, but he took the next two years off from MMA competition. He returned last summer and has won three fights in a row since he made his comeback. Austin currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) in Lewiston, Maine.

“I’m excited to finally be able to fight James again to gain some closure,” said Austin of the rematch with Ploss. “My MMA debut has haunted me since it happened almost three years ago. I’m thankful to James and his team for giving me this opportunity to get back in there with him. I’ve wanted this for a long time and I promise to make the most of the moment. When I exit the cage this time, it will be without question or controversy—it will end definitively.”

James Ploss went on to fight two more times in 2017 and has not competed since. He is a member of Greg Williams’ Team Kaze based in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Like Austin, Ploss will be looking for closure to the outcome of their first encounter.

“I’m grateful for a rematch with Caleb,” said Ploss. “Reflecting, I have pondered the question, ‘Am I better than Caleb or is he better than me?’ This is the perfect chance to find out—a second chance for us both to give it our all and see who comes out on top giving the fans, MMA community, and both of us the rematch we all want! Kẹrin 18th, we both test ourselves.”

Sẹyìn loni, the promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight championship bout to the fight card. Anthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) yoo dabobo awọn NEF MMA Ọjọgbọn Featherweight Àkọlé lodi si Vovk “KGB” Clay (3-0). The bout is scheduled for five five-minute rounds at a weight of 145-pounds.

 

Morrison stunned ni NEF Agbaye yi ti o ti kọja Kínní nigbati o de ni Lewiston o si ilu silẹ akoni Ray Wood (5-1) in the fifth round to win the championship title. It was as if he had sucked all the air out of the Colisée with a vacuum. Morrison played the role of spoiler that cold, sno night in Lewiston.

 

“Mo ti sọ kò ri ohunkohun bi wipe ki o to,” wi NEF àjọ-eni ati olugbeleke Nick DiSalvo. “The entire place just dropped into a dead silence. I don’t think anyone in Maine saw that coming, and I certainly don’t think anyone who’s followed NEF expected a fighter to come in and do that to Ray Wood. Everyone was shocked. It was a surreal moment.

 

Morrison is a seasoned veteran with more than a decade’s experience in the sport. He has competed against the best MMA has to offer on the national stage, pẹlu kan stint ni World iwọn Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

 

“Emi ni gan ọpẹ lati pada si lẹwa ipinle ti Maine, fun mi akọkọ akọle olugbeja,” said Morrison. “It will be a very entertaining fight and another victory for the five time! Five time! Five time! Five time! Five time! Mixed martial arts champion, Anthony Morrison.”

 

Vovka Clay is undefeated as a professional. He competed as an amateur twice in NEF and won both fights by submission in an impressive fashion. Clay is considered one of the true rising stars of the New England fight scene. A win over an accomplished veteran like Morrison could potentially propel Clay onto the national stage. He is a product of Team Triumph/Boston BJJ of Nashua, New Hampshire.

 

“Gbogbo Onija ni a ala ti ṣiṣe awọn ti o si UFC,” said Clay. “Diẹ ninu awọn yan lati lọ lẹhin meaningless ri ati paadi wọn igbasilẹ ija nobodies. I choose to fight the highest level of competition possible. I am thrilled to be fighting Anthony Morrison for the NEF Featherweight title. He is a very durable and crafty veteran. It won’t be easy, but if I fight my fight, Mo ti yoo pari Morrison emi o si jẹ awọn NEF Featherweight asiwaju.”
