--THE WRAP UP--

In conclusion, NEF 63 at the Lewiston Memorial Armory proved to be a thrilling showcase of emerging talent and raw determination, blending high-octane kickboxing with gritty MMA action. From the explosive early knockouts in bouts like Daniel Heredia's 34-second finish over Ice Young and Jonas Ryerson's lightning-fast 23-second KO against Quinn Poirier, to the technical submissions such as Avery Poole's guillotine choke and Zach Perry's von flue mastery, the card delivered a mix of finishes and hard-fought decisions that kept the crowd on the edge of their seats. While the night wasn't without its surprises—like the unfortunate No Contest in the Therrien-Henry matchup—standouts like Julian Connerton, John Soucy, and Brandon Oldenburg demonstrated the depth of skill in the amateur ranks. A big shoutout to New Englad Fighting for another solid event in Maine's combat sports scene; here's to more unforgettable nights ahead!

Stay tuned as NEF returns to Bangor Maine on Nov 8th
