[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Bangor, Maine (August 8, 2018) – New England Fights (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts event, "NEF 35: Wicked Season," on September 8 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional welterweight bout to the card. "The" Ryan Sanders (16-9) will face Armando "Big Chino" Montoya (10-6) at a fight weight of 170-pounds.
The bout will be the third for Sanders in front of his hometown friends, family and fans. He is undefeated in the Queen City, where Sanders trains at Young's MMA. He scored a decision over Derrick Kennington (13-11) two years ago at "NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin' for a Fight" and a submission of Jay Ellis (15-78) last year at the Cross. Overall, Sanders is on a roll, having won six of his last seven. During that stretch, he captured the NEF Professional Lightweight Title, knocked out veteran John Ortolani (8-13) in a mere 15-seconds, and literally tore Vince McGuiness' (5-8) arm out of its socket earlier this summer at "NEF 34" in Portland, Maine.
Unfortunately for Sanders, his meteoric rise to the top of New England's 155-pound division over the course of the last two years has come with consequences. He has called out virtually every other top lightweight prospect in the region in recent months with the sound of crickets as the only response. It is a testament to both Sanders' skill and the respect, (or fear for that matter), that his peers hold for him. Hence Sanders' move to the heavier welterweight division to find opponents willing to step in the cage across from him.

[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Bangor, Maine (August 7, 2018) – New England Fights (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts event, "NEF 35: Wicked Season," on September 8 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight title fight to the card. Pat Kelly (4-0) is scheduled to defend his strap against the challenge of fellow undefeated MMA competitor Tim Manning (2-0).
The fight will be the final contest for the 53-year-old Kelly who began competing in MMA four years ago in his late 40s. He brought to the cage unmatched wrestling credentials earned through a lifetime on the mats. Kelly is nothing short of a legend in Maine wrestling circles. He won a state championship as a senior competing for the former Camden-Rockport High School. Kelly went on to wrestle for the University of Maine where he claimed a New England title and competed in the national NCAA championships. Later, as a coach Kelly would lead Camden-Rockport and Camden Hills Regional High School to multiple state championships. Among the students he coached is current UFC star Tim Boetsch (21-11). Kelly was inducted into the Maine Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2007.
