Lewiston, Maine (Maaliskuu 17, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikan numero yksi alueellinen taistelu edistäminen, pitää sen seuraava tapahtuma, “NEF 22: Kaikki tiet vievät TÄSTÄ” päällä Lauantai, Huhtikuu 23, 2016 klo Androscoggin Bank Colisée Lewiston, Maine. Taistelukortissa on sekoitus taistelulajeja (MMA) ja ammattilaiset nyrkkeilyottelut. Aiemmin tänään, NEF announced the addition of a professional light-heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” taistella kortti. Mikrofoni “Viikset” Hansen (3-3) on allekirjoittanut kasvoihin Jesse “Barbarian” Baughman (0-1) klo taistelu paino 205-kiloa.
Mike Hansen is the founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. He is an alumni of Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) where he won a state championship wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. Hansen made his MMA debut shortly after graduating from high school, only to step away from the sport for a decade in order to serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. He returned to the MMA cage in 2015 as a member of the NEF roster. After restarting his career with a record of 2-1, Hansen dropped his first bout of 2016 to Zach Elkins (1-1) viime kuussa. He will look to rebound from that loss on Huhtikuu 23.
“I’m looking forward to getting back in the cage fast coming off this loss,” said Hansen. “I wasn’t mentally in that fight, so this time around with Baughman, I’m going to be mentally focused. Jesse is a big guy and a tough fighter – and he seems like a guy I could get along with. Joten, when we are done smashing each other up, hopefully we can get a drink.”
Like Hansen, Baughman is a United States military veteran, where he served in a recon unit of the special forces and earned a level-three certification in Army combatives. He is currently a member of Team Link based out of Hooksett, New Hampshire. As an amateur MMA fighter, Baughman put together a perfect record of 5-0 and was the number-one ranked light-heavyweight in the northeast region prior to turning professional. Baughman made his pro debut last November at “NEF 20” against Matt Andrikut (2-0).
“Päällä 23. huhtikuuta, I’m looking forward to getting back in there and putting on a show,” Said Baughman. “My fans from New Hampshire want to see a war – and best believe they will! Mike Hansen is a worthy opponent. He knows going in, this will be a bloody battle till the end. I have the best guys around preparing me for this matchup. Big thanks to Taylor Trahan, Kevin Haley, Brett Trahan and Rob Belliveau.”
