FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Lewiston, Maine (February 4, 2014) –New England Fights Mixed Martial Arts (NEF MMA) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston this Saturday night,February 8, with the most-anticipated main event the fight promotion has ever put together. The bout stands atop a stellar fight card stacked with the best and brightest professional and amateur fighters from all over New England.
"We're expecting a packed house Saturday night," stated NEF MMA co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. "If you live within driving distance of the Colisee, you would be absolutely crazy to miss this show for any reason. This is the hottest main event NEF has ever hosted. The ticket pre-sales have been our biggest ever by far. We could very well break our own attendance record. It's going to be loud and wild at 190 Birch Street this Saturday night, even louder and wilder than usual."
The main event DiSalvo speaks of will feature UFC veteran, current Bellator competitor and Maine fight legend Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis (22-10) facing his former student at Team Irish, "THE" Ryan Sanders (5-4), in a welterweight contest. Much has been made of the rivalry between the two, with Saturday night promising an explosive grand finale to the drama and fireworks of the past two to three years since their parting of ways.
