Former Dream lightweight champion Joachim Hansen recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since 2008 on Friday in Sweden.
Fighting outside of K-1/Dream for the first time in 10 fights, Hansen submitted two-time Greco-Roman wrestling Olympian Sami Aziz at Superior Challenge 6 with an armbar at three minutes and 47 seconds of the second round. Taken down by a double-leg with less than two minutes left in the round, Hansen threw his legs up for a fast triangle to set up the armlock finish. Hansen’s win Friday improved his record to 21-10-1.
The last time Hansen won two straight matches was when he was crowned the Dream GP champ with single-night victories over Shinya Aoki and Kultar Gill.
