MIKE HANSEN: FACING FEAR HEADFIRST

Junij 15, 2016 FNU47 Pustite komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Junij 15, 2016) – Fighting anyone, kjerkoli, anytime and under any circumstances has become Mike Hansen’s calling card with New England Fights.

No surprise, potem, that the 30-year-old father of three from Rumford, ME will gladly entertain the idea of a mixed martial arts contest … against an opponent about whom he admittedly knows precious little … on the eve of Father’s Day.

Hansen (4-4) will take on Robert Laroski in a heavyweight clash at “NEF 24: Obljubljena dežela «dne Sobota, Junij 18 pri banki Androscoggin Bank Colisee v Lewistonu.

There is no fear of the unknown in a man who has carved out his reputation confronting substantially bigger foes since his days as a state champion wrestler at Mountain Valley High School. During his relatively short time in NEF, Hansen has fought as a middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight.

“When I took the fight (at NEF 23 in Massachusetts) against Brendan Battles, people were saying, ‘You’re crazy! He’s going to bust your head!’ I understand why the weight classes exist, and I respect that it’s about safety and all that, but I’ve always felt that a fighter should be ready to fight anybody, no matter what,” Hansen said. “In high school, I would drink two gallons of water and put lead in my uniform just so I could get to the minimum weight for the unlimited class.”

That’s the attitude of a fighter whose skill and talent level far exceed his current record as a professional.

Hansen’s docket includes a stoppage win over former NEF “Fighter of the Year” Crowsneck Boutin. His record also includes TKO losses to Battles and Cody Anderson and a choke-out at the hands of Zach Elkins.

When he reflects upon his unique life story, Hansen, who fought twice for the World Fighting League as a 20-year-old college student, marvels that he ever got back into the cage at all.

“I started the winter of 2004-05. I started training because I had gone from 187 da 242 pounds in a few months. I was seeing stretch marks,” Hansen recalled. “I was pretty upset with myself for allowing that to happen. I started doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu two nights a week to get in shape. Then I went home for the summer and ended up with my first fight in August. My friends got me the fight without my coaches knowing about it. They told me it was a good thing I won, or they would have kicked my butt.”

Hansen kept a promise to his father to quit the sport after a knockout loss to Alexander Chianurashvili in 2006. He was studying at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, with intentions to enter the medical field.

He was stabbed and attacked with a baseball bat by three men in a case of mistaken identity not long thereafter. “I walked out of the hospital the next day, and all three of them were still in there from the beating I gave them in self-defense,” Hansen said proudly.

That dogged determination served Hansen well in the United States Army, where he studied in the elite Combatives program.

“They ask you ‘Who wins the fight?’ and the answer is, ‘Whoever’s buddy gets there first to help him clean up.’ That’s what Combatives taught me: How to survive that extra 30 da 60 sekund,” Hansen said. “Work ethic is what it taught me. It helped me grow and do things I might have questioned mentally whether or not I could do. Not many people find that extra little motivation. The Army taught me how to find it and utilize it.”

A few years later, Hansen found that inner fire again. Even as he returned to coaching wrestlers in his hometown, his own physical fitness suffered as work and fatherhood took precedence.

Hansen vividly describes sitting in a bean bag chair, eating snack food, watching TV at 2:11 a.m. when his phone rang. He assumed it was a friend in trouble.

“It was (NEF co-owner) Matt Peterson. Our families grew up maybe 200 yards apart. My high school wrestling coach had called him, unbeknownst to me, to tell him he needed to get me back in the cage,” Hansen said.

Three weeks later in 20 pounds lighter, Hansen dispatched super heavyweight fixture Artie Mullen at “NEF 16: New Blood Rising,” and the comeback was on.

V 15 months that have followed, Hansen has been instrumental in launching Berserkers MMA and building his reputation as both a fighter and an instructor.

Life is blossoming at home, also. Hansen is the father of two girls, starosti 5 in 2, and a boy of four months. His older daughter, Kaydn, often accompanies Dad to the gym at Greater Rumford Community Center. He returns the favor by chaperoning field trips for her kindergarten class.

“She and her friends will be on the playground practicing boxing stances and stuff,” Hansen said. “Her teacher says it’s adorable. Hopefully she is learning to take care of herself so I don’t have to.”

Kaydn’s parents are making plans to take her to her first live NEF show after she turns 6. Za zdaj, she is content to watch her Dad’s fights on YouTube.

“If we’re watching TV together,” Hansen said, “we have a thing where I get two shows and then she gets two shows. If I put in a fight tape, she’ll say, ‘Daddy, I know this doesn’t count as one of your shows, because this is your work.’”

BOJ Z DENNOM JE KRIŽJE ZA AVTO

Junij 14, 2016 FNU47 Pustite komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Junij 14, 2016) – Tako kot številni težki udarci z naslovom, ki jih je napadel New England Fights, Maine avtohtoni Brandon Bushaw (1-2) v svoji bojni športni karieri ni imel več ničesar za dokazati.

Bushaw je svojo sezono državnega prvenstva brez poraza spremenil kot maturant srednje šole Westbrook v Ljubljani 1999 v univerzitetno rokoborsko kariero na Michigan State University, kjer je bil soigralec prvaka UFC v polteški kategoriji Rashada Evansa (19-5-1).

»Bil sem s punco iz srednje šole (Cynthia), zdaj moja žena, tako da sem vedel, da bomo vedno povezani z Maineom,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Razen štipendiranja rokoborbe, Mislil sem, da sem končal z bojem. "

Par se je naselil na Myrtle Beachu, S.C., in odprl Island Bar and Grill, ki so jih imeli v lasti in upravljali ducat let.

Dobro je, udobno življenje. Razširjena družina je obiskala in ugotovila, da je območje tako privlačno, da so ostali za vedno.

Ti konkurenčni sokovi niso nikoli popolnoma izhlapeli, vseeno.

»Imel sem soigralce, ki so se usmerili v mešane borilne veščine,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Gledal sem jih, in ko sem se približal 30, je postala stvar seznama vedr. Zdaj sem tu, 17 kasneje se bori. "

Bushaw, 35, je potovanje razložil v telefonskem intervjuju, ko se je pripravljal na svoj četrti profesionalni dvoboj, peresni spopad z Auburnovim Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (3-2) na “NEF 24: Obljubljena dežela «dne Sobota, Junij 18 pri banki Androscoggin Bank Colisee v Lewistonu.

Borba je prva Bushawova na svojem prvotnem domačem terenu od leta 2014 izguba z Eliasom Lelandom pri meji 135 kilogramov. Povzpne se do 145 funtov, kjer je priznal, da mu je bolj prijetno (»V moji visoki starosti,"Bushaw je potegnil) za soočenje z Denningom.

"To je čudno, ker sem mislil, da sem s takim tekmovanjem končal, ko sem končal srednjo šolo, ko pa grem domov po vseh teh letih, vsi stari prijatelji, ki jih že leta nisem videl, so me gledali, kako se borim,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Ves čas sem se boril, ampak kadar koli se borim na Myrtle Beachu ali v Mainu, bolj poseben je. "

Nekateri športniki se vrnejo v svojo tekmovalno areno, ker pogrešajo privlačnost navijaške množice.

To velja za Bushawa, do neke mere, čeprav tudi gledalčevo zanimanje, ki ga je pritegnil z modrimi plameni in Spartanci, bledi v primerjavi s tistim, kar ga pozdravlja ob šestkotniku NEF.

»To ni nič drugega kot srednješolska ali celo fakultetna borba,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Prideš in dva sta, tri, štiri tisoč ljudi, ki gledajo. Tako drugačno je. V enem tednu ali celo v enem vikendu ne dobite več možnosti za boj. Traja nekaj minut, nato pa je najvišja od najvišjih ali najnižja od najnižjih. "

Fizični davek in potrebno dopolnilo spretnosti presegata tudi tisto, kar je Bushaw poznal v mladosti.

To odkritje je dosegel približno minuto pred začetkom amaterskega dvoboja.

»MMA je bolj dinamičen kot rokoborba. Spomnim se svojega prvega boja, tip me je pobral in me vrgel dol, jaz pa sem pristal na glavi,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Spomnim se, da sem razmišljal, ‘To verjetno ni bila tako dobra ideja,Ampak našel sem način, da dobim zmago. "

»Lahko si boljši od fanta v štirih različnih kategorijah, če pa je boljši samo v enem, sposoben te je premagati,”Je nadaljeval. "Mislite, da se stvari odvijajo po vaših željah, potem je to največje razočaranje na svetu."

V tistem nepredvidljivem kraljestvu je tovarištvo, ki ga v celoti razumejo samo veterani kletke. Bushaw, ki je treniral s prijatelji iz otroštva Jamiejem Harrisonom in Amosom Collinsom, ugotovil, da je postal prisrčen s skoraj vsemi svojimi predhodnimi nasprotniki.

Denning (3-2) je eden redkih, s katerimi je Bushaw (1-2) so postali prijatelji na družabnih omrežjih pred njihovim spopadom.

»To je nekako čudno, ampak vse te stvari gredo skozi okno,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Boril se je z mojim prijateljem Domom Cofoneom. Je lokalni fant. Vem, da bo zame hud izziv. "

V mnogih pogledih gre za križišče Bushawa, ki je priznal, da razmišlja o upokojitvi iz tega športa.

»Verjetno zadnjih pet borb, v katerih sem že rekel, ‘Še en boj in končal sem,’In potem nadaljujem. Nikogar se ne izogibam,"Je dejal. »Moj zadnji boj je bil proti otroku, ki je bil 23 na Tajskem pa je bil dve leti ali nekaj več (stvari). Takrat bi lahko rekel, 'Kaj počnem?'

»Zame je to družina, potem posel, nato boj. Za veliko teh mlajših fantov, boj je prvi, in to je izziv. "

BOJNI ŠPORTI DAJO SMER BEZANSONU PO DRUŽINSKI TRAGEDIJI

Junij 14, 2016 FNU47 Pustite komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Junij 13, 2016) – Bojni športi so dali Mike Bezanson (1-0) smer. Pomagali so mu tudi pri vzpostavljanju odnosa z očetom, ki si ga je vedno zaželel, a nikoli ni mogel dojeti.

Zdaj, na predvečer Očetovega dne, manj kot teden dni po štiriletnici očetove prezgodnje smrti, Bezanson je pripravljen narediti še en korak v karieri, ki so bile njune skupne sanje.

Bezanson, 21, Lancaster, N.H., se vrne v šesterokotnik New England Fights, da ga prevzame Shawn Bang (1-1) Auburn, Maine, v dvoboju v polmeru na “NEF 24: Obljubljena dežela." Njihov amaterski dvoboj je ena izmed mnogih zanimivosti naSobota, Junij 18 kartico pri Androscoggin Bank Colisee v Lewistonu.

»Mislim, da bo ta boj zame dober, ker bom svoje sposobnosti lahko pokazal proti nasprotniku z več izkušnjami v kletki, kot jih imam,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Tudi, Dejstvo, da je Junij 18 je dan pred očetovskim dnevom to zame sentimentalna in čustvena borba. "

Na bis pride skoraj leto dni po dnevu, ko je Bezanson ustavil Jeffa Dustina (0-1) s tehničnim nokautom s stavkami v svojem prvem mešanem borilnem športu junija 13, 2015. Bang je razdelil prvi dve sodbi v kletki NEF.

Bezansonovo razstavljanje, Stil stick-and-move je pri množici, ki je bila priča njegovim začetniškim prizadevanjem, naletel na mešane kritike. Nekateri so izžvižgali relativno pomanjkanje ukrepov, morda sumil, da se je Bezanson poigraval s prekomerno izbranim nasprotnikom.

Vse je bilo del njegovega načrta, da se nauži trenutka in izkoristi priložnost.

»Resnično smo imeli načrt igre, da bi dobili izkušnje,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Če imam kakšne misli, da bi šel pro, Moram pridobiti čim več izkušenj. Če vstopiš tja in nekoga zavrneš 10 sekund, ne razumite me narobe, dobil si nokavt in to je super, vendar se ne naučite, kaj je potrebno, da se počutite udobno na drugi strani tega 10 sekund. Ne veste, koliko energije boste potrebovali. "

Bezansonu ni nikoli primanjkovalo energije, ali osebnost, od otroštva. Zase se opisuje kot mladenič, ki ni nikoli zašel v resnejše težave, in nikoli ni eksperimentiral z drogami ali drugimi neurejenimi vedenji, ampak tisti, ki je svobodno izpodbijal oblast.

Kot borec v srednji šoli je gravitiral boksarskemu ringu. Dalo mu je smer. Prav tako je zagotovil temelje za vnovično, spet odnos z očetom, Jamie.

»Preden sem se lotil boksa, moj oče v resnici ni bil veliko vpleten v moje življenje. Prišel bi in odšel, veš, iz osebnih razlogov,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Ko sem začel boksati, res smo se zbližali. Boks in dirke so bile njegove stvari. Vsem in vsem bi povedal, da boksam in kako ponosen je, in to mi je veliko pomenilo. "

Jamie Bezanson ni nikoli imel priložnosti gledati, kako se njegov sin razvija kot borec. Junij 15, 2012, med letnim "kolesarskim tednom" v Laconiji, njegov motocikel je prečkal sredinsko črto in udaril v drugo vozilo.

Starejši Bezanson je podlegel poškodbam. Bil 37.

»Nekaj časa sem ga izgubil. Nehal sem boksati. Mentally, Bil sem ravno na zelo čustvenem mestu,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Potem tik ob moji hiši, Kaze Dojo se je odprl. Rekel sem, "To bi lahko naredil."

Bezanson je začel trenirati v brazilskem Jiu-Jitsuju z Gregom Williamsom. Izkazal se je kot naravni talent, osvojil zlato medaljo v svojem prvencu na Vermont Open.

Nato je prišlo do naravnega napredovanja v MMA, kjer se je njegovo stand-up znanje izkazalo za pretežko, da bi ga Dustin zagovarjal. Bezanson je kletki ukazal z držo in kirurško natančnostjo veterana.

»Sem naokoli precej samozavesten fant. Res nisem bil tako živčen. Zakaj bi me bilo strah, če ste pripravljeni in ste opravili ves ta trening?"Je dejal. »Devetdeset odstotkov spopadov je izgubljenih, še preden sploh prideš v kletko. Če pustite, da čustva pridejo do vas, ne boste nastopili po svojih najboljših močeh. "

Bezanson je na treningu kmalu zatem utrpel katastrofalno poškodbo kolena. Preteklo leto je preživel na okrevanju po operaciji popravljanja raztrganega ACL in meniskusa.

Ko se je vrnil v telovadnico, Bezanson se je večino svojega časa posvetil svoji razvijajoči se igri na tleh. Bang bi ga moral kraljevsko preizkusiti, nekdanji srednješolski rokoborec iz znane deželne borbene družine.

»Presenetljiva je zagotovo ena mojih prednosti. Sem dolgočasen stari, in to poskušam v celoti izkoristiti,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Sem pa na treningu res trdo delal na svoji igri na tleh. V prvi borbi res nisem dobil priložnosti, da bi to pokazal, ampak vem, da bom tokrat. "

Bezanson vidi svoj drugi vstop v kletko kot pravi začetek, za katero upa, da bo plodna kariera.

Poleg številnih oboževalcev, ki se bodo odpravili na štiriurno krožno pot iz Severne države, da ga gledajo, Bezanson ve, da bo imel v svojem kotu ene posebne oči.

»Boks me je naučil veliko discipline. MMA je ista stvar. Ljudje ga lahko uporabljajo, kakor hočejo, ampak to počne zame,"Je dejal. "To je nekaj, kar rad počnem in nekaj, za kar vem, da je moj oče hkrati ponosen."

Odprtje zvonec na Junij 18 je določen za 7 p.m. Trenutni paket vključuje pet profesionalnih boksarskih dvobojev, trije pro MMA dvoboji in osem amaterskih MMA spopadov.

We will have to wait a little longer for the highly anticipated faceoff between Daley and Koscheck. The 33-year-old now directs his attention to “The Phenom” as he looks to add to his five fight winning streak. A native of Nottingham, Anglija, “Semtex” has recorded wins in nine of his last ten fights, with eight of those victories ending in a knockout. A four fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Daley has put his stamp on the welterweight division, posting a 4-0 record with three knockouts, including his most recent first round finish of top contender Andy Uhrich v glavni dogodek "Bellator 148: Daley vs. Uhrich. "

After originally being slated for the co-main event of "Bellator 156: Galvão vs..

In his first 10 appearances under the Bellator MMA fray, the 28-year-old Brazilian has collected eight wins, seven of which have come by way of knockout. A former champion of Bellator’s stacked 170-pound division; Lima has continuously proven his worth with highlight reel victories over former Bellator MMA veterans the likes of Rick Hawn, Ben Saunders (dvakrat) and Bryan Baker. With past winning streaks of nine, six, and five, Lima’s most recent string of victories consisted of five consecutive knockouts over the span of three years. “The Phenom” will look to begin another streak of success when he challenges “Semtex” Daley on his home turf on Julij 16.

Having made his professional debut in 1997, “Cyborg” Santos is undoubtedly one of the most experienced MMA athletes in the game today. The 38-year-old Brazilian veteran has amounted 21 victories over his illustrious career, highlighted by his 12 Knockouts, 10 of which came in the first round. In his Bellator MMA debut, “Cyborg” stunned an electric Connecticut crowd when he delivered a first round win over Brennan Ward via heel hook submission at"Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson.” Before signing a multi-fight contract with Bellator MMA this year, Santos also made four appearances under the Strikeforce banner from 2009 da 2011. “Cyborg” will have to prepare for one of the most feared fighters in the sport of MMA, when he meets the undefeated “MVP” in his home country on Julij 16.

With an unblemished record of 10-0, “MVP” remains one of the brightest young stars in the world of MMA. Page received a new opponent, with the news that “Cyborg” Santos would replace Fernando Gonzalez in one of the evening’s welterweight feature fights. The 29-year-old London native has a knack for finishing his challengers in the early stages of the bout, collecting nine first round victories with only one fight reaching the judges’ scorecards. “Venom” thoroughly impressed in his 2016 debut, when he forced budding star Jeremie Holloway into an Achilles lock submission just 2:15 into the first round in their clash at"Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson.” It will be more of the same for the knockout specialist Page, as he will enter the cage on Julij 16 with the full intention of adding to his impressive tally of first round finishes.
