FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Lewiston, Maine (September 7, 2014) –New England Fights' (NEF) held its fourteenth mixed martial arts event, “NEF XIV,” Saturday night at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine.

Three NEF Maine State MMA title belts were on the line. In the first title fight, it was a thrilling contest between two of Maine's most popular fighters in Bruce "Pretty Boy" Boyington (7-7) and Jesse "The Viking" Erickson (3-3). After a back-and-forth first round that had the crowd on the edge of its collective seat, the referee stopped the fight due to strikes in the second, awarding Boyington the lightweight strap. In the co-main event of the evening, Tim "The Terror" Goodwin (9-4) unseated long-reigning champion Paul Gorman (10-9) via unanimous decision.
