📰 NEWS--📰 NEWCOMER KELLEY IN VERSUS BEDARD AT NEF 50



[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
 
Portland, Maine (October 31, 2022) – New England Fights (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, November 12, 2022, with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event “NEF 50.”  Earlier today the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s catchweight bout to the card.  Cassidy Bedard (1-0) will take on Lindsey Kelley (0-0) at a fight weight of 150 pounds.

Cassidy Bedard was originally scheduled to face Amanda Ferreira on November 12 in Portland.  Ferreira, however, pulled out of the fight late last week.  Bedard is a familiar face to NEF fans as she made her cage debut last spring in a wild encounter with Michelle MacDavid (0-1) that saw MacDavid disqualified for gouging Bedard’s eye.  Bedard represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Lewiston, Maine.

 "I'm grateful Lindsey accepted the fight on short notice, I know female fights can be harder to book,” said Bedard. “I look forward to the opportunity to get more cage experience."

 Kelley will make her amateur MMA debut in the fight with Bedard.  She is a member of Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.  Kelley is a graduate of Scarborough High School in Scarborough, Maine where she played basketball, softball, and soccer.  She joined Evolution Athletix as a way of getting back into sports and quickly took to boxing, kickboxing, submission grappling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 

 “I have put in so much work and I have sacrificed so much in order to fight,” noted Kelley.  “I build my whole life around my training schedule and train every chance I get. I’ve been training hard for the last 4-5 months expecting a fight to happen so I am beyond ready for this. I have all the faith in the world in my coaches and my preparation. It’s an honor to fight out of Evolution and I’m grateful for the opportunity Nate (Libby, Evolution Athletix head coach) has given me. I’m really stoked to make my debut in Portland, it’s so surreal that last time NEF was at Aura I was in the crowd watching my teammates fight and now I’ll be in the cage. I’ve put in the work and I’m so ready. Bring it on.”

 “NEF 50” is scheduled for Saturday, November 12 at Aura in Portland, Maine.  Doors will open at 6 p.m. with first fight taking place at 7 p.m.  Tickets are available now at TicketMaster.com.
