📰 NEWS--📰 MITCHELL ON UPCOMING FIGHT WITH HYLTON: ‘FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT’

[NEF PRESS RELEASE]

Portland, Maine (October 11, 2022)

Jordan “Iron Man” Mitchell has reached the crossroads in his mixed martial arts career at which he recognizes a trail of missed opportunities in the rear-view mirror but sees enough open highway through the windshield to still reach his professional goals.

With those aspirations on his mind and heart, the journeyman from Indianapolis will travel to a place whose aesthetic charms have always captivated him and stand toe-to-toe in the New England Fights hexagon with a certain 6-foot-6, 245-pound roadblock known as Ras “RasquatchThe Jamaican Shamrock” Hylton.

“I heard about it the other day, and I was pretty excited,” Mitchell said in an interview with Ryan Jarrell on Between Rounds Radio. “I’ve seen Ras before. I’ve watched a couple of his fights. I’ve said his name to a couple of promoters, but they never got in contact with me, so I’ve been looking forward to fighting him for a while.”

Mitchell (10-16) vs. Hylton (8-6) will be the co-main event at NEF 50, slated for Saturday, November 12 at Aura in Portland, Maine.

📰 NEWS--📰 HYLTON TO TAKE ON TOP INDIANA HEAVYWEIGHT AT NEF 50

[NEF PRESS RELEASE]

 Portland, Maine (October 7, 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 professional heavyweight bout to the card.  “The Jamaican Shamrock” Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (8-6) is scheduled to face Jordan Mitchell (10-16) in the evening’s co-main event.

 Ras Hylton is coming off one of the biggest wins of his career over Cody Lightfoot (6-6) last summer at “NEF 48.”  It took Hylton a mere 13 seconds to knockout Lightfoot in the first round.  It was his second win in a row and also his second finish in a row.  The fight with Mitchell will be Hylton’s first at Aura since he turned Charles Penn, Jr. (0-1) into a bloody mess at “NEF 38” in the spring of 2019.  Hylton is a second-degree black belt in Shotokan karate and a two-fight veteran of the Bellator cage.  He currently represents Dragon Fire Martial Arts in Portland and American Top Team of Tampa, Florida.

 “Glad to welcome another challenger to Vacationland,” exclaimed Hylton. “Don't worry, I see Jordan's a dangerous opponent not to be taken lightly; there's just no world where I let anyone beat me at home again. Learned that lesson! It's been a long time coming, and my change has come. Thanks everyone!”
