[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Portland, Maine (April 19, 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 an amateur featherweight title bout to the card. Cassidy Bedard (2-0) is scheduled to face Sarai Knapp (2-2) for the vacant NEF amateur women’s 145-pound championship.
Undefeated Cassidy Bedard made her debut at “NEF 47” in one of the most memorable MMA bouts of 2022. It was a wild scene in Auburn, Maine as Bedard’s opponent that evening was disqualified after pulling Bedard’s hair out and blatantly gouging her eye. Bedard returned to the cage last November at “NEF 50” with a dominant performance and first-round submission win over Lindsey Kelley (1-2). Bedard is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu based in Lewiston, Maine.
"I am excited to test my training with this opportunity,” exclaimed Bedard.
Sarai Knapp will make the trek to Maine all the way from Ft. Wayne, Indiana where she trains at Lee Brothers MMA. Knapp actually made her amateur MMA debut in Maine at “NEF 39” in 2019. She is coming off a win last fall over Carissa Hodge (1-3) on a fight card in Indiana. Knapp submitted Hodge in the first round with an armbar.
“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.

[NEF PRESS RELEASE] Portland, Maine (October 3, 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 a women’s amateur catchweight bout to the card. Cassidy Bedard (1-0) will face Amanda Ferreira (0-0) at a fight weight of 140 pounds.
Cassidy Bedard’s MMA debut at “NEF 47” last spring was one of the wildest and most bizarre contests in the promotion’s 10-year history. Bedard took on Michelle MacDavid (0-1) in what looked more like a streetfight than an MMA bout. Bedard got a chunk of her hair pulled out and there were accusations of biting before MacDavid was disqualified for eye gouging. Despite the actions of her opponent, Bedard maintained her composure for three rounds and showcased her skills. She is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu based in Lewiston, Maine.
