NEF is back this Saturday with their 2nd outdoor event out of their 48 shows since its existence. The card is another awesome one with 16 fights that will be sure to please the crowd. The forecast of the weather looks to be amazing with a nice sunny day. The doors will be opening at 6pm and the first fight is set to start at 7pm. The event will be held at Thompson's Point in Portland Maine which is also a new venue for NEF. Unfortunately, Warchild, my wife and myself will be going to a Rob Zombie concert so we won't be attending this event.
