[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Portland, Maine (May 4, 2023)
Bombs, blood and braggadocio are the overriding themes in advance of a 190-pound amateur catchweight bout that will entertain New England Fights fans if it lives up to even a small fraction of its preliminary bluster.
Robert Gray (1-0) and Jack Burke (1-2) both insist that they don’t have anything specific against the other man. They’re just two self-assured dudes, each with a combative streak a mile wide, separated by almost a full generation, who happen to be in one another’s way.
The war of words will be punctuated by the sound of the cage door closing Saturday, May 13 at “NEF 52: Zero Hour.” Opening bell time at Aura in Portland, Maine, is set for 7 p.m.
“I’m 38 years old and I’ve got to work a lot harder than these kids do, I think,” said Gray, who trains out with Team Krane out of MXA Fitness in Ellsworth, Maine, “I’m putting some serious time in the gym, sometimes four to five hours a session, because I don’t plan on losing. This guy’s got some hands, but so do I.”

[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Portland, Maine (April 14, 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 catchweight bout to the card. Robert Gray (1-0) is scheduled to meet Jack Burke (1-2) at a fight weight of 190 pounds.
Robert Gray will be making his second appearance in the NEF cage. He made his debut at “NEF 50” last November and scored a highlight-reel knockout on Cody Dular (1-2) a mere 30 seconds into the first round. The right hand Gray hit Dular with was so powerful that it actually took Dular, a heavyweight, off his feet and launched him into the air. Gray represents Team Krane.
“Jack’s significantly better than my last opponent,” proclaimed Gray. “I'm ready for the challenge. One of us is going to sleep. The talking is over. Let's throw down.”
Jack Burke made his NEF debut at “NEF 46” in February 2022 with a technical knockout of Nick Legrande (0-1) just 1:25 into the first round. Burke would go on to lose his next two in a row by first-round submission – including an armbar by Nate White (6-0) earlier this year at “NEF 51.” He will look to get back in the win column at “NEF 52.” Burke currently represents Karasu Tengu Academy of Nashua, New Hampshire.

Bangor, Maine (January 25, 2023) – New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine on February 11, 2023, with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event “NEF 51: Banger in Bangor.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card. Nate “The Mule” White (5-0) is scheduled to meet “Action” Jack Burke (1-1) at a fight weight of 190 pounds.
Undefeated Nate White will make his return to the NEF cage after a three-year absence. A wrestler from Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine, White has finished all five of his previous opponents. His most recent win came in February 2020 when White defeated Brian Cosco (now 1-1 as a pro) by first-round technical knockout at “NEF 42.” He took time off from the sport during the Covid-19 pandemic to serve with the National Guard at the American-Mexican border. White is back and will represent Red Oak MMA in the bout with Burke. 190 pounds will mark the heaviest weight White has ever competed at.

Bangor, Maine (September 6, 2022) – New England Fights (NEF) returns to Bangor, Maine on Friday, September 9, 2022, with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event “NEF 49: Queen City Showdown.” It will be NEF’s first event in Bangor in more than three years. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur light heavyweight bout to the card. David McCarty (1-2) will take on Jack Burke (1-1) at a fight weight of 205 pounds.
David McCarty made an impressive debut last November at “NEF 45” in Portland, Maine. It took him just 38 seconds to knock out Danny Dray (0-1). McCarty would return at “NEF 46” in February and suffer his first loss at the hands of Jeff Reynolds (3-2). Likewise, he would drop his next bout to David Burke (3-0) at “NEF 47” a few months later. McCarty, who hails from nearby Hermon, Maine, will look to get back on the winning track in front of his home crowd. He represents Titan Athletics based in Brewer, Maine.
"I’m looking to bring my best to this one,” said McCarty. “Fighting in Bangor is really exciting for me as we’ll be fighting in front of friends and family. I don't know this guy, but I hope he's ready to put on a show.”
