NEF returns this Saturday with another action packed card for the Maine fans. This will be their 32nd show since their existence and is going to be a great one. NEF has been tightening down and not having as many fights on a card but in my opinion the fights have been of much better quality. The show will be having 15 fights total with 5 pro fights including one being a title fight. Also there are 3 women's bouts which will be sure to please the crowd. Who knows, there may even be a few celebrities there! Maybe a few Pat's legends! Let me break down the fight card in its entirety. This should be the exact fight order of the night.
115 AM BJ Garceau 0-0 (Young’s MMA) vs Sarah Ziehm 1-1 (CMBJJ)
First fight of the night is between BJ Garceau and Sarah Ziehm. Garceau trains out of Young's MMA and will be making her amateur debut. Her opponent is Sarah Ziehm and she trains with CMBJJ. She thankfully stepped up to take this fight on a months notice to replace BJ's previous opponent. She comes into this fight with a 1-1 record with 1 win by submission and 1 loss by submission. In this fight Ziehm will have the 2 fight experience but I think BJ will be just fine. This should be a great first battle.
160 AM Mohammad Al Kinani 2-0 (Evolution Athletix) vs. Isaac Therrien 1-0 (Berserkers MMA)
For the second fight of the night Mohammad Al Kinani will be taking on Isaac Therrien at 160 lbs. Kinani trains with Evolution Athletix and comes into this fight with a 2-0 record. He has won 1 by decision and his last one by ko/tko to strikes. He will be looking to improve to a perfect 3-0 this Saturday. His opponent is Isaac Therrien and he trains out of Berserkers MMA. He comes into this fight with a 1-0 record with 1 win by ko/tko at the previous NEF event. This is going to be an awesome fight as both fighters have never lost and I see this one being a stand and bang battle.
155 AM Stacy Lupo 0-1 (The Outlet) vs David Hart 0-2 (Kenney’s MMA)
At 155 lbs Stacy Lupo is set to take on David Hart. Lupo trains with The Outlet and he has an 0-1 record. He lost his first bout by ko/tko to strikes in Round 3 at NEF 24. He is still hungry for his first win. His opponent is David Hart and he trains out of Kenney's MMA. Hart comes into this fight with an 0-2 record with both losses by way of submission. Again, another close fight on paper and one fighter will be getting his first career win!
