Brandon Maillet-Fevens has had all of his amateur MMA fights to date in the NEF cage. He started his career at 3-1, earning himself a featherweight title shot at “NEF 44.” Maillet-Fevens has now challenged twice for the featherweight strap, most recently at “NEF 53” last summer. All four of Maillet-Fevens wins have come by finish with three submissions and one technical knockout. He represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu based in Lewiston, Maine.
“I couldn't be happier to be coming back home to the Queen City,” exclaimed Maillet-Fevens. “I've been working hard and I'm excited to show the fans the improvements I've made in my game. Eddy's a tough kid, but he's not on my level and on November 11th I plan on proving once again that I'm one of the very best in this division.”
