Right when it seemed he was making the steps needed to take his career to the next level, lightweight prospect Mike Hanks (7-2) was derailed by injury and bad luck, sidelining him for two years. “It all started when Cody McKenzie and I moved to Las Vegas for the training and stuff, and I was supposed to fight Ryan Healy. Two weeks before the fight I tore my bicep, so that took me out for a while,” said Hanks. “I didn’t have insurance, so I got a job drilling just to pay off the bills and stuff. “I’ve been trying to get back into fighting and have been training ever since. I almost got onto the last welterweight season of The Ultimate Fighter . I went through all the cuts and the medicals and got cut at the very last minute
