Левистон, Мејн (Децембар 16, 2015) - Нев Енгланд Фигхтс (НЕФ), Број један регионални борба промоција Америке, одржаће свој следећи догађај, “НЕФ 21: Тхе Имморталс” о Субота, Фебруар 6, 2016 на Андросцоггин банке Цолисее у Левистону, Мејн. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (ММА) and professional boxing bouts. Раније данас, NEF announced the addition of a professional middleweight bout to the “НЕФ 21” Борба картица. Мајкл “Бркови” Хансен (3-2) је потписала да се састане Zach “The Torch” Elkins (0-1) на тежини борбе од 185 килограма.
Hansen is the head coach and founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Мејн. He won a state championship as a heavyweight wrestler for Mountain Valley High School (МВХС) у 2004. Hansen began his MMA career shortly after his high school graduation, but put that career on hold to serve in United States Army as a combat engineer. У рано 2015, Hansen returned to the cage as a member of the NEF MMA roster. He put together a record of 2-1 in his first year back, including a win over the “2014 Борац године” Цровснецк Боутин (1-2). The fight with Elkins will be Hansen’s first foray into the middleweight division after having competed in the heavyweight and light-heavyweight ranks previously.
“Zach is a good fighter with a lot of experience in the cage,” said Hansen over his upcoming opponent. “He’s probably looking to come up here and leave with his first pro win. It won’t be that easy, and he will have to earn it, ’cause I intend to send him back to Florida with another loss.”
Zach Elkins is no stranger to the NEF fans. A member of Team Riot in Orange Park, Флорида, Elkins appeared previously for the fight promotion headlining the amateur portion of the “НЕФ КСИИИ” fight card in the spring of 2014. That evening, Elkins made short work of the northeast’s then-top ranked amateur middleweight Buck Pineau (1-2), scoring a first-round TKO. Elkins was ranked nationally as an amateur, and he held the ISCF Florida State Middleweight Championship for over a year. He lost his professional debut in the fall of 2014, and now Elkins is looking to pick up the first win of his pro career.
“I want to thank Matt and Nick (Peterson and DiSalvo, NEF owners) both for having me back on their show in February,” said Elkins when reached for comment. “I will be ready to put on another exciting fight for the fans in Maine and bringing home another ‘W’ for my team in Florida, Riot MMA.”
