[NEF PRESS RELASE]
Portland, Maine (October 13, 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 an amateur light heavyweight bout to the card. Jared Turcotte (1-0) is scheduled to meet Regian Marcus Lourenco Da Silva, Jr. (0-0) at a fight weight of 205 pounds.
Jared Turcotte will climb into the NEF cage for a second time after an explosive debut at “NEF 48” last July that saw him submit Seth Godfrey (1-1) a mere 35 seconds into the first round. Turcotte’s athletic prowess came as no surprise to those who followed his days on the football field during his time at Lewiston High School in Lewiston, Maine. He had an amazing 4,562 yards on offense and 554 tackles on defense. Turcotte won the Fitzpatrick Trophy award his senior year and was named the Maine Gatorade Player of the Year. He went on to play at the University of Maine at Orono and was inducted into the Auburn-Lewiston Hall of Fame in 2019. Turcotte currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu based in Lewiston.
