HANSEN AND ANDRIKUT ON COLLISION COURSE SET FOR NEF 25

PRESSMEDDELANDE: Lewiston, Maine (Juni 29, 2016) – They are two of the top light-heavyweights currently competing in New England Fights (NEF). Their respective most recent wins were both against Jesse Baughman (0-2). Both are accomplished wrestlers. At some point, Mike “Den Mustasch” Hansen (4-4) och Matt “The Beast Från norr” Andrikut(2-0) were bound to collide. That collision will take place at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” på September 10, 2016 i Lewiston. The mixed-martial-arts (MMA) contest is set at a fight weight of 205-pounds.

 

Hansen is the founder of the Berserkers MMA fight team based out of the Greater Rumford Community Center in Rumford, Maine. He was a Maine state champion wrestling out of Mountain Valley High School. Hansen dropped his last fight to Brendan Battles (1-0) vid “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts. He had a chance to avenge that loss and get back on the winning track this month at “NEF 24,” but suffered a setback when his opponent fell out the morning of weigh-ins.

 

“This should be an exciting fight,” said Hansen. “Two good wrestlers ready to throw each other around sounds like a good time to me. This should be my last fight at 205 most likely, fast. I’m heading down to 185-170 to try my luck against guys my size. Fighting these big guys sure is exciting, but it cost my body a lot. Expect nothing less than me coming ready to break him.”

 

Prior to his professional MMA career, Matt Andrikut wrestled for the University of Southern Maine (USM) and also boxed as an amateur. He was a finalist in the Northern New England Golden Gloves. During his amateur MMA career, Andrikut famously defeated Pat Walsh. Walsh would later go on to compete in the UFC and World Series of Fighting at the national level. Andrikut is 2-0 in the NEF MMA cage since debuting with the promotion last year.

 

“I am ready to be in the cage again,” said Andrikut from his home in Reno, Nevada. “I know Mike is a tough wrestler and possibly an even tougher striker. This is a fight that no one would want to miss. I look forward to the challenge to further enhance my career in MMA towards a much deserved title shot in NEF.”

Matt “The Beast Från norr” Andrikut (1-0) kommer att återvända till Maine att ta på Jesse “Barbaren” Baughman (0-0) vid en kamp vikt av 205-pounds.

 

Andrikut, en duktig brottare vid University of Southern Maine (USM) och en tidigare finalist i norra New England Golden Gloves, gjorde sin NEF debut förra månaden på “NEF XIX,” vinnande via teknisk knockout (VEM) in a mere 32-seconds of round one. Andrikut is best known on the New England MMA scene for finishing Pat Walsh (6-2) in under a minute during their amateur meeting in 2011. (Walsh skulle gå på att tävla i Fighting Championship Ultimate [UFC] som en professionell.) Andrikut now lives in Reno, Nevada, där han tränar ur Conviction MMA.

 

“Jag ser fram emot att komma tillbaka till Maine för att bekämpa Jesse,” Said Andrikut. “Han har fått en stor post och tåg för en stor grupp. Jag älskar människor och atmosfären i Maine – it’s a great place! På November 21, we will see who’s a greater fighter as we put our unblemished records on the line. Jag är säker på att vi kommer båda att vara redo och det kommer säkert att bli en folkmassa pleaser!”

 

Lewiston skjutningen blir den professionella debut för Baughman, as well as his first fight with NEF in the state of Maine. Baughman leaves the amateur division having amassed a perfect 5-0 post. He has claimed regional championships while attaining the number-one ranking for New England amateur light-heavyweights. A resident of Littleton, New Hampshire, Baughman tränar på Team Link North i närliggande Whitefield.

 

“Göra min pro debut med NEF är inget mindre än spännande,” Said Baughman. “Som en New England infödd, Jag erkänner passion och stödja våra fans har för sporten MMA. Som den högst rankade lätt tungvikt amatör i New England, Jag räknar med att sättas upp mot de tuffaste killarna runt i min division. Stort tack till Matt Peterson för möjligheten och min chef Taylor Trahan. Barbarian är redo för krig!”
