Portland, Maine (April 18, 2023)
After a distinguished and tireless launch to his mixed martial arts career that has encompassed nine of his 10 professional and amateur bouts in the past 26 months, Nathaniel Grimard doesn’t see himself as a role model or even a savvy veteran within the highly decorated walls of Nostos MMA.
That’s rare modesty in a competitive realm known for its bluster and bravado. Therefore, it was no surprise to hear him approach his upcoming New England Fights featherweight scrap with Robert Wusstig, who has roamed the pro cage since Grimard was 10 years old, with that same respect for the game on a recent episode of “The Room Podcast” with host Steve Domenico.
“It’s a tough match-up,” Grimard said. “He’s got some experience. He’s got seven wins. That’s more than I even have fights as a pro. It’s a step up in competition, and I’m ready for it.”
Grimard (3-2) will take on Wusstig (7-12) in one of the primary pro attractions at “NEF 52: Zero Hour,” slated for Saturday, May 13 at Aura in Portland, Maine. Bell time is 7 p.m.

[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Portland, Maine (March 31, 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 a professional featherweight bout to the card. Nathaniel Grimard (3-2) will meet Robert Wusstig (7-12) at a fight weight of 145 pounds.
Nathaniel Grimard is coming off a win over Carl Langston (2-9) last month at “NEF 51.” It took Grimard less than three minutes of the first round to finish Langston by technical knockout. The victory broke a two-fight skid for Grimard. Prior to turning pro last year, Garimard held the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title. He represents Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC veteran and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion Devin Powell (10-5).
