[NEF PRESS RELEASE]
Portland, Maine (July 6, 2022)
Ryan Fredette flaunts a resume with many common denominators to the caliber of athlete that often graduates to the New England Fights (NEF) mixed martial arts (MMA) cage.
For starters, Fredette is a champion wrestler, although that description barely scratches the surface. He is in select company as a four-time Maine Principals’ Association state champion and capped his undefeated senior season at Winslow High School in Central Maine with a New England championship, a tournament in which he was also named the Outstanding Wrestler.
Winslow also won state championships in football, where Fredette was a two-way starter, and in track and field during his career. And while he has continued to stoke the competitive fires after graduation in 2018 with more accomplishments on the college mat, it’s hard to walk away from all that heavy metal in the trophy case.
Fredette will carve out new territory as an athlete when he takes on another highly decorated wrestler, New Hampshire-based David Burke, in his MMA debut as a middleweight at NEF 48: “Heatwave.”
