Middleweight Matchup set for co-mainevent at Battlefield Fight League 7 in Nanaimo, B.C.
Battlefield Fight League has signed an explosive Middleweight fight as the co-mainevent for it’s first ever card in Nanaimo B.C.-BFL 7: Invasion.
In a rare All-B.C. matchup, Bastien Huveneers (9-3-1) and Mike Hackert (4-1) will square-off in the co-mainevent at Battlefield 7. The main card, which will be capped off with a bout between Canadian Denis Kang and Amercian Jesse Taylor, will be aired in over 20 million homes in Canada, USA and England.
The Huveneers/Hackert clash is a fight set between Two of BC’s top 5 middleweights and two of its very own home-grown products.
“Huveneers is coming off a huge win over Hinchliffe to become the TFC champ and he hasn’t lost at Middleweight in over 5 years. Hackert has huge wins over Melnyck, Dan MacIver and Ryan Janes, these guys are both top level Middleweights so its time to make this fight happen.” Said Battlefield President Jay Golshani.
“We got guys like Ryan Chiappe who vacated his King of the Cage Belt, now Huvenners who is the current TFC champ, and up and coming young stars like Hackert and Matt Baker all in our Middleweight division. We are going to see top local guys battle it out to see who is ready to take the next big step to face our headliners like Denis Kang and Jesse Taylor. We are different than most of our competition in the sense that there is no gyms going like 10-1 within our organization because of hand picked fights, we don’t feed one of our headliners easy matchups that stylistically its very hard for them too loose just to build them, at this level these kind of tactics are unacceptable . We are going to have legit fights in our organization, and our top guys will all be legit and they earn their rankings in a proper manner. Huveneers/Hackert and Kang/Taylor are two clear examples of 50/50 fights to top our card.”
