Hyannis, מסצ'וסטס (מאי 3, 2016) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) המספר אחת קידום המאבק של אמריקה האזורית, יקיים האירוע הבא שלה, "NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE” on יום שבת, מאי 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center in Hyannis, מסצ'וסטס. מוקדם יותר היום, NEF announced the main event of the fight card. Brendan “Lock Down” Battles (0-0) has signed to face Mike “The Mustache” Hansen (4-3) in a professional bout at a fight weight of 265-pounds.
Brendan Battles is a native of Eastham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. There, he was a three-time All American wrestler for Nauset Regional High School. During his high school career, Battles captured a total of two state championships and three New England championships with an amazing 161 wins to his credit prior to graduating in 2012. A multi-sport athlete, he later played defensive end and tackle for the University of Connecticut. Battles made his NEF debut earlier this year at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” when he efficiently dispatched of Mike Hansen’s Berserkers teammate, דייב סמית ' (2-2) in the first round via TKO ref stoppage. Battles trains out of Gracie Fitness and is a member of Team Juniko based out of Hyannis.
“I look forward to Mike coming down to my backyard for my first professional fight,” said Battles. “I know he is a tough fighter, but I look forward to showcasing the skills I have acquired thus far as I continue my journey to become a well-rounded MMA fighter.”
מייק האנסן הוא החבר המייסד של ה- MMA של ברסרקרס שמקורו ברומפורד, מיין. He won a Maine state championship in wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. הנסן ערך את הופעת הבכורה שלו ב- MMA זמן קצר לאחר שסיים את לימודיו בתיכון, רק כדי להתרחק מהספורט במשך עשור על מנת לשרת את ארצו כמהנדס קרבי בצבא ארצות הברית. הוא חזר לכלוב ה- MMA ב 2015 כחבר בסגל ה- NEF. Hansen has become known for taking tough fights against opponents that he is generally undersized next to. Less than two weeks ago, he defeated former top-tanked amateur light heavyweight Jesse “The Barbarian” Baughman (0-2) via first round submission at “NEF 22: ALL ROADS LEAD HERE.” Always up for a challenge, Hansen requested the opportunity to face Battles in his highly anticipated professional debut.
“I like this fight because I get to fight in Massachusetts again,” stated Hansen. “I made my pro debut at Club Lido at the ‘Wonderland’ Blue Line stop just over a decade ago. I rode the ‘T’ from Fenway to Wonderland on August 6th, 2005 to make my debut against Eric Brown who I beat by rear naked choke at 1:27 בסיבוב הראשון. Jumping up two weight classes sucks, but I’ve competed at this weight many times. Battles is a very accomplished athlete with a stacked resume. With only three minutes of cage time, I think it’s time Battles was in the cage with someone ready to fight. I will gladly welcome Battles to the professional ranks and see how he stacks up. I’m going to stand right in front of him and make him beat me up and, if he can, הוא לוחם טוב. If he can’t, it is because I didn’t want him to. במאי 14ה, we will have a fight my friend!"
