[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Portland, Maine (March 31, 2023) – New England Fights (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, May 13, 2023, with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event “NEF 52: Zero Hour.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Nathaniel Grimard (3-2) will meet Robert Wusstig (7-12) at a fight weight of 145 pounds.
Nathaniel Grimard is coming off a win over Carl Langston (2-9) last month at “NEF 51.” It took Grimard less than three minutes of the first round to finish Langston by technical knockout. The victory broke a two-fight skid for Grimard. Prior to turning pro last year, Garimard held the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title. He represents Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC veteran and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion Devin Powell (10-5).
“I’m excited to be back fighting in Portland against a veteran of the game,” said Grimard. “Wusstig is a very tough and durable opponent, but I believe I have the skills to put him away. I look forward to putting on my best performance to date.”
Robert Wusstig is a native of Guam and a longtime veteran of MMA. He started his career in 2008 and competed throughout Asia for a decade before taking time off. Wusstig returned to active competition on a fight card in Massachusetts earlier this year after a five year layoff. The fight with Grimard will mark Wusstig’s debut in NEF.
“First off, I would like to thank Jesus Christ for guiding me here to the States and coming from a far away small island, Guam. I’m gonna showcase what we Guamanians can do and what am I all about. Thank you to NEF for the opportunity to bring my skills to Maine. This will be my first time ever in Maine. I will make it an exciting fight and I will get my hand raised with a dominant victory. I’d like to thank my wife and kids for all the support in this career I chose.”
“NEF 52: Zero Hour” will take place on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at Aura in Portland, Maine. Doors will open at 6 pm with first fight taking place at 7 pm. Tickets are on sale now at www.TicketMaster.com.
