MIKE HANSEN: FACING FEAR HEADFIRST
Lewiston, මේන් (ජූනි මස 15, 2016) – Fighting anyone, ඕනෑම තැනක, anytime and under any circumstances has become Mike Hansen’s calling card with New England Fights.
No surprise, එවකට, 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.
හැන්සන් (4-4) will take on Robert Laroski in a heavyweight clash at “NEF 24: Promised Land” on සෙනසුරාදා, ජූනි මස 18 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.
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, කුමක් වුවත්,” 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, හැන්සන්, 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 කිරීමට 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 කිරීමට 60 තත්පර,” 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) මතෙ පීටර්සන්. 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 හා 20 pounds lighter, Hansen dispatched super heavyweight fixture Artie Mullen at “NEF 16: New Blood Rising,” and the comeback was on.
තුළ 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, වයස අවුරුදු 5 හා 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. දැනට, 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.’”

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.”

“SHOOTOUT IN QUEBEC” ඇඩෝනිස් ස්ටීවන්සන් එදිරිව. තෝමස් විලියම්ස් Jr. WBC Light Heavyweight Championship Live at Centre Videotron
මොන්ට්රියල්, කැනඩාව (ජූනි මස 14, 2016) – ගෘප් Yvon මයිකල් (ජිම්) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching ඇඩෝනිස් “සුපර්” ස්ටීවන්සන්, ජූලි 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Mise-O-Jeu. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “ප්රිමියර් බොක්සිං චැම්පියන්ස්” (PBC) මාලාවක්, to be broadcast live in the United States, and on Canal Indigo in Canada.
ස්ටීවන්සන් (27-1, 22 Kos), who established himself as one of the most powerful pound-for-pound fighters in the world, ඔහුගේ ලෝක බොක්සිං කවුන්සිලයේ ආරක්ෂා කරනු (බෙ) and lineal light heavyweight (175 රාත්තල් අංශය) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC No. 9 වර්ගීකරණයක් සහිත තෝමස් “Top බල්ලා” විලියම්ස් (20-1, 14 Kos).
“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.,” ස්ටීවන්සන් පවසයි. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 මාස, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
විලියම්ස්, of Fort Washington, මේරිලන්ඩ්, දී 28, වේ 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 එඩ්වින් රොඩ්රිගස් (28-1, 19 Kos) හා උම්බර්ටෝ Savigne (12-2, 9 Kos).
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 ගේබ්රියෙල් Campillo (24-6-1, 11 Kos),” 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 ජූලි 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 ජනාධිපති Yvon මයිකල් එකතු. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 පිළිබඳ 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. පමණක් Shinsuke Yamanaka, of Japan, is still champion. Other fights on the ජූලි 29වන card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
සම විශේෂාංගයෙන්, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 තරගකරු, Eleider Alvarez (19-0, 10 Kos), will attempt to maintain his position as the WBC mandatory challenger against Maximiliano Gomez (22-5, 9 Kos), of Argentine.
Also scheduled to be in action are Nova Scotia native and adopted Montreal fighter Custio ක්ලේටන් (8-0, 7 Kos), who will attempt to continue his rise in the welterweight division, Quebec heavyweight Eric Martel Bahoeli (11-6, 7 Kos) will realize his dream to fight in Videotron Centre, charismatic Montreal welterweight Junior Ulysse (10-0, 7 Kos) හා welterweight Marie Eve Dicaire (4-0) are also slated to be in action. Other fights and fighters will soon be announced for the July 29වන කාඩ්.

The fights join a main event that features a middleweight rematch between ජෝ Schilling (27-8) හා 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.
"බෙලේටර් කික් බොක්සිං: ශාන්ත. ලුවී” will air immediately following the highly anticipated “Bellator: ඩයිනමයිට් 2” event LIVE and FREE on Spike at 11 ප.ව.. සහ/10 ප.ව.. සී.ටී..

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 ආධුනික ලෙස, නවය knockouts සමග, 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 කතාවට අනුව ගෙදර ස්වාමියාගේ බෑනාද: 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 පළමු වටයේ බවට තත්පර, 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 24වන 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: ඩයිනමයිට් 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, ඇය දැනට පවත්වයි එහිදී 3-1 කතාවට අනුව ගෙදර ස්වාමියාගේ බෑනාද වාර්තා. 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” මත ජූනි මස 24 at Scottrade Center in St. ලුවී.
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 “ඩයිනමයිට් 2” through her blog, which can be found මෙතැන.
