📰 NEWS--📰 SECOND WOMEN’S FIGHT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF 55


[NEF PRESS RELEASE]

 Bangor, Maine (October 3, 2023) – New England Fights presents its next mixed-martial-arts event “NEF 55: Glory Days” on Saturday, November 11, 2023, at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.  Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a women’s amateur strawweight bout to the card.  BJ Garceau (2-2) is scheduled to meet Alecia Palmer (0-0) at a fight weight of 115 pounds.

BJ Garceau began her amateur career in early 2018 at “NEF 32.”  Competing with type-1 diabetes, she has inspired many through her first four fights. Her most recent victory came in November 2021 at “NEF 45” when Garceau submitted Haley Martin (0-1) just 23 seconds into the first round.  She currently represents Young’s MMA based in Orrington, Maine.

“I’m so excited to be back in the NEF cage with so many of my teammates from Young’s MMA in our hometown,” said Garceau. “This fight is for the hometown fans and everyone who’s believed in me over the years. I can’t wait to put on a show with a game opponent with the guidance of Chris Young (Young’s MMA head coach). I promise this will be a fight none of us will forget.”
