פֿאַר באַלדיק מעלדונג: לעוויסטאָן, מיין (יוני 29, 2016) – They are two of the top light-heavyweights currently competing in New England Fights (נעף). Their respective most recent wins were both against Jesse Baughman (0-2). Both are accomplished wrestlers. At some point, מייק “די מוסטאַטשע” האַנסען (4-4) און מאַט “די חיה פֿון צפֿון” אַנדריקוט(2-0) were bound to collide. That collision will take place at “נעף 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” אויף סעפּטעמבער 10, 2016 אין לעוויסטאָן. The mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) 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, מיין. He was a Maine state champion wrestling out of Mountain Valley High School. Hansen dropped his last fight to Brendan Battles (1-0) בייַ “NEF 23” in Hyannis, מאַססאַטשוסעטץ. 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, כאָטש. 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 (וסם) 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, נעוואַדאַ. “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.”
