[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Portland, Maine (May 3, 2023)
Those who are courageous and motivated enough to enter the mixed martial arts cage often quickly gravitate toward two common goals: To eventually get paid for it, and/or wrap a championship belt around the waist as the payoff that keeps on giving when the fighting days are done.
Having recently achieved the milestone age of 40, Nate Russell has realized one of those aspirations a remarkable four times in his 11-fight amateur career. He’s also realistic enough and devoted enough to his family and 9-to-5 career to recognize that the other ship already may have sailed.
A champion in four different regional MMA promotions, Russell (8-3) strives to get his hands on a fifth strap when he makes his New England Fights debut.
Russell, who represents Fighting Arts Academy out of Springfield, Massachusetts, will take on a local favorite, Caleb Austin (5-1), for the vacant amateur flyweight title at “NEF 52: Zero Hour.” The card is scheduled for Saturday, May 13 at Aura in Portland, Maine, with an opening bell time of 7 p.m.

[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Portland, Maine (April 11, 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 flyweight championship bout to the card. Caleb Austin (5-1) is scheduled to face Nate Russell (8-3) for the vacant NEF amateur 125-pound title.
Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin made his NEF debut in 2017 while still a senior at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. He put together an impressive record of 208-11 while wrestling in high school and won two state titles in the sport. The transition from the wrestling mats to the MMA cage was a smooth one for Austin who won his first four fights as an amateur by finish and the fifth fight by unanimous decision. Austin previously challenged for the flyweight strap against Tyler Smythe (1-0 pro, 7-3 amateur) and suffered a defeat in the fourth round. This will be his second attempt at capturing the belt. Austin represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu based in Lewiston, Maine.
