Mike Hansen is the founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, 缅因. He is an alumni of Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) where he won a state championship wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. Hansen made his MMA debut shortly after graduating from high school, only to step away from the sport for a decade in order to serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. He returned to the MMA cage in 2015 as a member of the NEF roster. After restarting his career with a record of 2-1, Hansen dropped his first bout of 2016 to Zach Elkins (1-1) 上个月. He will look to rebound from that loss on四月 23.
“I’m looking forward to getting back in the cage fast coming off this loss,” said Hansen. “I wasn’t mentally in that fight, so this time around with Baughman, I’m going to be mentally focused. Jesse is a big guy and a tough fighter – and he seems like a guy I could get along with. 所以, when we are done smashing each other up, hopefully we can get a drink.”
Like Hansen, Baughman is a United States military veteran, where he served in a recon unit of the special forces and earned a level-three certification in Army combatives. He is currently a member of Team Link based out of Hooksett, 新罕布什尔州. As an amateur MMA fighter, Baughman put together a perfect record of 5-0 and was the number-one ranked light-heavyweight in the northeast region prior to turning professional. Baughman made his pro debut last November at “NEF 20” against Matt Andrikut (2-0).
“上 4月23日, I’m looking forward to getting back in there and putting on a show,” 说鲍曼. “My fans from New Hampshire want to see a war – and best believe they will! Mike Hansen is a worthy opponent. He knows going in, this will be a bloody battle till the end. I have the best guys around preparing me for this matchup. Big thanks to Taylor Trahan, 凯文·海利, Brett Trahan and Rob Belliveau.”
路易斯顿, 缅因 (三月 16, 2016) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF), 美国的头号地区拼促销, 将举行下一次活动, “NEF 22: 条条大路通HERE” 周六, 四月 23, 2016 在安德罗斯科银行Colisée酒店在路易斯顿, 缅因. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) 与职业拳击较量. Earlier this month, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “22 NEF” fight card. 马特 “肯娃娃” 丹宁 (2-1) 见面会 乔希 “Hook On” 哈维 (0-0) 在150磅重的战斗. Since the announcement, the anticipation has continued to accelerate for the upcoming bout. In a recent interview with Jason Floyd on该MMA报告, Harvey made some comments that has sent the energy around the fight into overdrive.
“I find him disrespectful as a person and I want to keep it classy on a podcast,” Harvey stated in the beginning of the interview. “I do not want to speak my full mind. You meet the guy, talk to him for a minute and you want to fight him. But it depends on which Matt you are talking to. Because he can rub people the wrong way and he can kiss their ass on the same day. That is who he is.”
The bad blood between the two rivals has been rising for a long time. The potential matchup had been talked about for years, but is scheduled to finally become a reality on April 23RD.
“In this case, I’ve wanted to fight Matt Denning since we were both amateurs,” Harvey stated to Floyd during the interview. “I couldn’t make it happen then. I guess I wasn’t the fight he wanted. 当时, I only had one or two amateur fights and he was towards the end of his amateur career.”
“He’s backed out of fights before at the pro level,” “Harvey stated. “He’s missed weight. Is it a career? Is it a hobby? 我的意思是, it’s for him to decide, but we’ll find out if he wants to show up to fight.”
When Floyd asked Harvey if the fight was personal, Harvey confirmed the obvious. “I think it is,” Harvey replied. “I’m not saying they’re going to want two refs in there to pull me off of him, but it’s going to finish that way.”
During the interview, Harvey also noted the difference in quality of training partners, as he sees it, and how that will impact the outcome of the fight.
“I don’t think he’s rolling with the animals that we’re bringing in every day,” Harvey stated. “The people he has submitted, I don’t think their jitz game was tight—and that’s why he took those fights.”
When asked how he would like to end the fight with Denning, Harvey explained to Floyd that a submission finish would be satisfying, but that he was prepared to create the finish wherever it presents itself.
“It would be nice to turn Ken Doll into Stretch Armstrong—that would be sweet,” Harvey stated toward the end of the interview. “But I’m going to beat him wherever the fight goes. I’m not going to force it down to beat him on the ground and I’m not going to force it to stay up. 当然, if he tries to take me down—I don’t give up takedowns for nobody. I’ll beat him wherever the fight goes.”

Bellator Kickboxing Middleweight Main Event: 梅尔文Manhoef (49-12) VS. Alexandru Negrea (8-2)
SANTA MONICA (三月 14, 2016)– Last week, top mixed martial art’s free agentMatt Mitrione (9-5) joined Ariel Helwani’s “MMA Hour” show and revealed that he had been fielding offers from multiple promotions, including a great bid he had received from Bellator MMA. In a very rare move, Helwani had Mitrione rejoin his popular talk show for a second straight week to announce that the paperwork has been finalized, making Mitrione the newest member of Bellator MMA’s heavyweight division.
“There comes a time in every athlete’s life, where the scenarios change and the landscape has eroded from what made you fall in love with it initially,” said Mitrione. “It has become that time for me. After a mutually beneficial free agency period, I’ve decided to move my career to Bellator. I’ve enjoyed almost every second of my career and unlike most that switch organizations due to being cut or no longer being able to perform at the sports highest levels, I am bringing a body and skillset that are only getting better and I cannot wait to test my abilities against the best Bellator has to offer.”
Lovingly referred to as “Meathead,” Mitrione is one of the few fighters to have started his professional career with the UFC without previously competing on the regional circuit. His 14-bout stint with that promotion began in 2009, where he faced formidable opponents the likes of: Kimbo切片, 加布里埃尔·贡扎加, 本·罗斯韦尔, 德里克·刘易斯, 布伦丹·绍布, 罗伊·尼尔森, Shawn Jordan and Travis Brown amongst others.
Prior to competing in MMA, Mitrione earned a scholarship to play defensive tackle for the Purdue Boilermakers football team, not far from where he grew up in Springfield, 生病. 大学毕业后,, he played in the NFL for the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings until 2005.
At the conclusion of his professional football career, the Shotokan Karate Black Belt focused all of his attention on the sport of MMA. Mitrione spent time training with Duke Roufus and the highly-respected Roufusport team before landing with the famed Blackzilians camp in Boca Raton, FLA, where he trains today.
The extremely popular and well-spoken Mitrione has allowed the judges to determine the result of his fight only twice, 针对 乔伊·贝尔特兰 和 谢赫·金刚, both of whom currently fight for Bellator MMA. His entertaining fighting style has earned him recognition with “当晚表演” (两次) 和 “夜扑灭” 荣誉.
Prior to his last fight with his former promotion, Mitrione was forced to participate in a media session barefoot, as his shoes didn’t adhere to the strict company uniform policy. He will have no such problems at Bellator, where he is free to secure his own sponsors and keep his feet warm with the footwear of his choosing.
Bellator has been bolstering their heavyweight division as of late, and Mitrione becomes the second heavyweight free agent the promotion has signed in as many months, 如 谢尔盖Kharitonovjoined the fray in February. The division is currently championed by维塔利Minakov, and includes other top names like Slice, 鲍比·拉什利, 谢赫·金刚, Vinicius “Spartan,” Tony Johnson, 贾斯汀雷恩, 查尔斯·丹 和 酒井奥古斯托.

It was a fitting finish as all of Tyler’s seven previous bouts, whether wins or losses, have ended with a submission. Tyler’s last victory came in February of 2014 with a second-round arm triangle choke submission of Corey Hinkley (2-4). 在 “NEF 22,” Tyler will look to pick up his first win in over two years.
“I’m happy to have the opportunity to get back into the NEF cage,” said Tyler. “I have put in a lot of time into improving my skill set. I feel amazing going into this fight with Cory Trial. 上 4月23日, everyone is going to see that I’m back.”
Like Tyler, Cory Trial’s most recent win in the NEF cage was over Corey Hinkley. It was a stunning first-round knockout (KO) that was a finalist in the voting for NEF’s “年度KO” 在 2015. It was also the quickest victory ever in the NEF cage, clocking in at a mere seven-seconds. Trial has not competed since a September 2015 loss to Rafael Velado (3-0) as he has been nursing several injuries. Training out of Ruthless MMA & Boxing of Benton, 缅因, Trial predicts another KO finish at “新EF 22。”

I was dealing with a couple of injuries leading up to my last fight, but I showed up ’cause I love to fight. I’m healthy now, training with the best team around and you’ll see the best Cory you’ve seen. This fight won’t go to the judges – I’ll be coming for the knockout! 这是一场你不想错过的战斗!”
