[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Bangor, Maine (August 31, 2022) – New England Fights (“NEF”) returns to Bangor, Maine on Friday, September 9, 2022, with its next mixed-martial-arts (“MMA”) event “NEF 49: Queen City Showdown.” It will be NEF’s first event in Bangor in more than three years. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the card. Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (7-14) is scheduled to face Jordan “The Jackal” Downey (8-9-1) at a fight weight of 155 pounds. Matt Denning will look to win three fights in a row for the first time since 2015 when he finished his amateur career with two straight wins and then won his first two as a pro. It took Denning a mere 35 seconds to submit Brian Cosco (0-1) last month at “NEF 48” in Portland. Just weeks earlier, he had also submitted Jacob Guerrero (0-1) in the first round on a fight card in Massachusetts. The fight with Downey will also see Denning return to the lightweight division for the first time since 2018. “It’s the first time in a long time I can pull off a hat trick,” noted Denning. “Two wins in a row inside the NEF cage shows I’m still a threat in New England. I plan on making a statement. I’m coming back to 155 to eventually hit 145 again and see what I can do about changing the opinions people have about me in the MMA world! Thanks for the love and support!” Longtime MMA veteran Jordan Downey will make his NEF debut in Bangor. Downey has competed in the sport since 2012, primarily throughout the Midwest. He will look to rebound from back-to-back losses earlier this year. Downey has never lost three in a row over the course of his lengthy career. He represents Lee Brothers MMA based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. “I’m looking forward to getting back out to Maine,” said Downey. “I’m really thankful to NEF for making this match and to Matt for accepting the fight. I expect Matt to meet me in the middle of the cage and I’ll be happy to oblige. It should be boat loads of fun for the fans. Have your popcorn or donuts or chowder or lobster rolls (whatever people in Maine eat during fun times) ready before the opening bell. God bless. See you soon”. “NEF 49: Queen City Showdown” is set for Friday, September 9 and will be the organization’s long-awaited return to Bangor, Maine. For more information, go to NewEnglandFights.com.
