Background
Hansen originally played softball, planning to continue her career at Harvard. After seeing Ronda Rousey defeat Bethe Correia in UFC 190, she decided she would rather train in MMA.[1] [3] She trained under Erik Paulson at Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW), competing in Pankration Youth Fights for an undefeated record of 4-0: two armbars, one Americana, and one unanimous decision.[4]
Mixed Martial Arts Career
Amateur Career
Hansen made her amateur debut in September 2017, less than a month and a half after her 18th birthday. The fight took place under Fight Club OC at their Gladiator MMA Championship Series 3. She fought Cecilia Padilla in the flyweight division and won via technical knockout in the first round.[5]
Invicta Fighting Championships
Hansen made her professional debut as a strawweight at Invicta FC 26: Maia vs. Niedzwiedz, making her the youngest to win in IFC history.[6] She defeated opponent Emilee Prince within the first two minutes of round one via armbar.[5][7]
She faced Kalyn ".50 Kal" Schwartz at Invicta FC 28: Mizuki vs. Jandiroba. After receiving an elbow to the temple that caused a bloody cut, she lost the fight via technical knockout in the second round.[2][8]
Personal Life
Hansen is a proud American, sporting a patriotic themed, full sleeve tattoo on her left arm.[9] She is also a strong advocate for the NRA.[4]
