MIKE HANSEN: GESIENDE VREES HOOFSTE
Lewiston, Maine (Junie 15, 2016) – Veg iemand, oral, te eniger tyd en onder enige omstandighede Mike Hansen se belkaartjie met New England Fights geword het.
Geen verrassing nie, dan, dat die 30-jarige vader van drie van Rumford, ME sal graag die idee van 'n gemengde vegkunswedstryd vermaak ... teen 'n teenstander van wie hy weliswaar kosbaar min weet ... aan die vooraand van Vadersdag.
Hansen (4-4) sal Robert Laroski die stryd aansê in 'n swaargewig-kragmeting by “NEF 24: Beloofde Land ”op Saterdag, Junie 18 by Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.
Daar is geen vrees vir die onbekende in 'n man wat sy reputasie verwerf het met aansienlike groter vyande sedert sy dae as 'n stoeikampioenstoeier by die Mountain Valley High School nie.. Gedurende sy relatiewe kort tydjie in NEF, Hansen het as middelgewig geveg, ligte swaargewig en swaargewig.
'Toe ek die stryd voer (by NEF 23 in Massachusetts) teen Brendan Battles, mense het gesê, 'Jy is mal! Hy gaan jou kop breek!’ Ek verstaan waarom die gewigsklasse bestaan, en ek respekteer dat dit gaan oor veiligheid en dit alles, maar ek het nog altyd gevoel dat 'n vegter gereed moet wees om met iemand te veg, maak nie saak wat nie,”Het Hansen gesê. "In Hoërskool, Ek sou twee liter water drink en lood in my uniform gooi, sodat ek tot die minimum gewig vir die onbeperkte klas kon kom. ”
Dit is die houding van 'n vegter wie se vaardigheid en talentvlak sy huidige rekord as beroep ver oortref.
Hansen se dossier bevat 'n oorwinning oor die voormalige NEF "Fighter of the Year" Crowsneck Boutin. Sy rekord bevat ook TKO-verliese aan Battles en Cody Anderson en 'n verstikking deur Zach Elkins.
As hy nadink oor sy unieke lewensverhaal, Hansen, wat as 20-jarige universiteitstudent twee keer vir die World Fighting League geveg het, verwonder dat hy ooit weer in die hok gekom het.
'Ek het die winter van 2004-05. Ek het begin oefen omdat ek weg is 187 te 242 pond in 'n paar maande. Ek het rekmerke gesien,”Onthou Hansen. 'Ek was nogal ontsteld oor myself omdat ek toegelaat het dat dit gebeur. Ek het twee aande per week Brasiliaanse Jiu-Jitsu begin doen om in vorm te kom. Toe is ek huis toe vir die somer en eindig met my eerste geveg in Augustus. My vriende het my die stryd aangesê sonder dat my afrigters daarvan weet. Hulle het vir my gesê dit is 'n goeie ding dat ek gewen het, of hulle sou my boude geskop het. ”
Hansen het 'n belofte aan sy vader om die sport te staak, na 'n uitklophou teen Alexander Chianurashvili in 2006. Hy studeer aan die Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, met die bedoeling om die mediese veld te betree.
Hy is met 'n bofbalkolf gesteek en aangeval in 'n geval van verkeerde identiteit, nie kort daarna nie. 'Ek het die volgende dag uit die hospitaal gestap, en al drie van hulle was nog daar binne van die pak slae wat ek hulle uit selfverdediging gegee het,”Het Hansen trots gesê.
Hierdie vasberade vasberadenheid het Hansen goed in die Amerikaanse weermag gedien, waar hy studeer aan die elite-strydprogram.
'Hulle vra jou' Wie wen die stryd?’En die antwoord is, ‘Wie se maatjie kom eers daar om hom te help opruim.’ Dit is wat Combatives my geleer het: Hoe om daardie ekstra te oorleef 30 te 60 sekondes,”Het Hansen gesê. 'Werksetiek is wat dit my geleer het. Dit het my gehelp om te groei en dinge te doen wat ek geestelik sou bevraagteken het of ek nie kon doen nie. Nie baie mense vind daardie ekstra min motivering nie. Die weermag het my geleer hoe om dit te vind en te gebruik. ”
N paar jaar later, Hansen het daardie innerlike vuur weer gevind. Al het hy teruggekeer om stoeiers in sy tuisdorp af te rig, sy eie liggaamlike fiksheid het gely as werk en vaderskap voorrang geniet.
Hansen beskryf lewendig sit in 'n boontjiesakstoel, peuselkos eet, TV kyk by 2:11 voormiddag. toe sy foon lui. Hy het aangeneem dat dit 'n vriend in die moeilikheid was.
'Dit was (NEF mede-eienaar) Matt Peterson. Ons gesinne het miskien grootgeword 200 meter uitmekaar. My stoeiafrigter op hoërskool het hom gebel, onbewus van my, om vir hom te sê hy moet my weer in die hok kry,”Het Hansen gesê.
Drie weke later en 20 pond ligter, Hansen het die super-swaargewig-wedstryd Artie Mullen na “NEF 16: Nuwe bloedstyg,”En die terugkeer was aan die gang.
In die 15 maande wat gevolg het, Hansen het 'n groot rol gespeel in die bekendstelling van Berserkers MMA en sy reputasie as vegter en instrukteur opgebou.
Die lewe blom by die huis, ook. Hansen is die vader van twee meisies, ouderdomme 5 en 2, en 'n seun van vier maande. Sy ouer dogter, Kaydn, vergesel pa gereeld na die gimnasium by die Greater Rumford-gemeenskapsentrum. Hy gee die guns terug deur vir haar kleuterskool klasbesoeke te doen.
'Sy en haar vriende sal op die speelgrond wees om boksposisies en dinge te oefen,”Het Hansen gesê. 'Haar juffrou sê dit is aanbiddelik. 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. Vir nou, she is content to watch her Dad’s fights on YouTube.
“If we’re watching TV together,”Het Hansen gesê, “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.’”
Die opening klok op Junie 18 is vir 7 namiddag. Tickets for “NEF 24: Promised Land” start at $25 en is beskikbaar by www.TheColisee.com of deur die Colisee loket by 207.783.2009, uitbreiding 525.

He’s got a very fluid style but loves nothing more than going into the trenches, so he’s an extremely exciting fighter. In a few years, he’ll be right in the mix.”
Baxter is looking forward to showcasing Con on his card and believes he’s got a bright future.
“Con is very highly regarded and had a great amateur background. He’s on the right path in the pros and fans in Canada will love him. It’s a pleasure to work with Con, Adam Harris & Nowhere2Hyde Management for this fight. We’re looking forward to the first of many great performances from Con.”

MONTREAL, Kanada (Junie 14, 2016) – Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, Julie 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Mise-O-Jeu. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Boxing Champions” (PBC) reeks, to be broadcast live in the United States, and on Canal Indigo in Canada.
Stevenson (27-1, 22 Uitklophoue), who established himself as one of the most powerful pound-for-pound fighters in the world, sal sy World Boxing Council verdedig (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 pond afdeling) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC No. 9 Rated Thomas “Top Dog” Williams (20-1, 14 Uitklophoue).
“I am very happy to get back in the ring for my next fight, which will be held July 29 in the superb Centre Videotron of Quebec, against Thomas Williams Jr.,” Stevenson het gesê. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 maande, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
Williams, of Fort Washington, Maryland, by 28, is 10 years younger than Stevenson and also left-handed. He had a successful amateur career and is reputed to be a major danger in the ring as evidenced by his 10 victories won by knockout in less than two rounds, including his last two outings against renowned Edwin Rodriguez (28-1, 19 Uitklophoue) en Umberto Savigne (12-2, 9 Uitklophoue).
In both of those two fights, Williams was an underdog, but his determination and lethal punch made the difference. “There were many who had lost trust in me two years ago after my loss to Gabriel Campillo (24-6-1, 11 Uitklophoue),” Williams explained. “I don’t make excuses but there were circumstances that led to this result. I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Julie 29 in terms of the holding title belt. Stevenson has never faced a puncher like me in the past.”
“We are proud to start our association with Gestev and Centre Videotron with this gala event,” GYM president Yvon Michel bygevoeg. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 van 16 other WBC titles have changed hands.

IN ADDITION: KERI MELENDEZ-SARAH HOWELL SHOWDOWN COMPLETES DYNAMIC BELLATOR KICKBOXING CARD
SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (Junie 14, 2016) – The SPIKE-televised "Bellator Skopboks: St. Louis" event on June 24 at Scottrade Center is now complete, with the addition of two fights featuring Bellator Kickboxers Raymond Daniels (11-3) en Keri Melendez (3-1), wat op sal neem Stefano Bruno (23-2-1) en Sarah Howell (debuut) onderskeidelik.
The fights join a main event that features a middleweight rematch between Joe Schilling (27-8) en Hisaki Kato (6-2), who initially competed against one another in a mixed martial arts contest that saw Kato get the better of the kickboxing ace with a “Knockout of the Year” winning superman punch.
"Bellator Skopboks: St. Louis” will air immediately following the highly anticipated “Bellator: Dinamiet 2” event LIVE and FREE on Spike at 11 namiddag. EN/10 namiddag. CT. Tickets for the double feature event start at just $30 and are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com and the at Scottrade Center Box Office.
A native of California, Daniels is one of the most widely known kickboxers in America, having made a splash as both and amateur and professional. “The Real Deal” went 17-0 as 'n amateur, met nege uitklophoue, finishing all 17 bouts in the first round. Daniels made his professional debut in 2007, winning each of his first four fights, three of which ended in knockouts for the 36-year-old welterweight. Daniels was also a competitor at Bellator’s inaugural "Bellator Skopboks: Torino " event in Italy this year, earning his first career victory with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The win was the eighth of his professional career and it came spectacularly 30 sekondes in die eerste ronde, giving him five first-round knockouts in total.
With a stellar record of 23-2-1, Italian kickboxer Stefano Bruno will have his hands full when he steps into the ring with Daniels on the 24ste of June. One half of what many kickboxing pundits considered the fight of the year in 2015 against Hosam Radwan, Bruno has competed all around the globe and has truly made a name for himself in the welterweight division.
The queen of the infamous Skrap Pack in Northern California, Melendez made her first appearance with Bellator during the kickboxing portion of "Bellator: Dinamiet 1, " recording a unanimous decision victory over Hadley Griffith in front of her home town faithful. Melendez tallied a 4-1 amateur mark before taking her talents to the professional circuit, waar sy is tans 'n 3-1 skopboks rekord. The 32-year-old flyweight will look to build off her impressive debut last year, when she takes on Sarah Howell in the kickboxing portion of Bellator’s “Dynamite 2” op Junie 24 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Making your professional debut in anything is an arduous task, but making your debut against Melendez will be tougher than usual for Howell, who comes into the fight with no pro experience. Hailing from Washington – which coincidentally was the homestate of Melendez’s last opponent — the proud mother has been documenting her road to “Dinamiet 2” through her blog, which can be found hier.
