Career

Nansen practiced Kung Fu as a child and grew up playing rugby league. He began training in kickboxing at the age of 21. He is the cousin of Ray Sefo.[http://www.nzfighters.com/node/100 Interview with Antz "Notorious" Nansen] He holds a professional kickboxing record of 22 wins and 3 loss, and has been the kickboxing champion of New Zealand in three different weight classes.[http://www.nzfighters.com/node/328 'Notorious' Nansen vs Satoshi Ishii - MMA Super Fight at K-1 World Max Final] He defeated Joel Martin in October 2008 to become the World Kickboxing Federation (WKBF) Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion of New Zealand.[http://www.profighting-fans.com/mma/fighter-profiles/antz-nansen.html Fighter Profile: Antz "Notorious" Nansen] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004195618/http://www.profighting-fans.com/mma/fighter-profiles/antz-nansen.html |date=4 October 2011 }}

On 23 September 2009, he made his mixed martial arts debut against Olympic judoka Hiroshi Izumi at World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku 10 in Saitama, Japan. Nansen was able to control the fight with his striking and won via technical knockout in the first round.[http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Izumis-Debut-Spoiled-Hornbuckle-Finishes-Thompson-at-Sengoku-10-19887 Izumi's Debut Spoiled; Hornbuckle Finishes Thompson at Sengoku 10]

The following year, on 25 April, Nansen took part in his second MMA bout at ASTRA: Yoshida's Farewell against jiu-jitsu fighter Enson Inoue, who was making his return to the ring after six years of retirement. Inoue used his superior grappling skills to win via submission by using an armbar in round 1.[http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Astra-Notebook-Promotions-Future-Still-Undecided-24127 Astra Notebook: Promotion's Future Still Undecided]

He was then set to face Satoshi Ishii, another of Japan's Olympic judoka, at the K-1 World MAX 2010.{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/21172/satoshi-ishii-vs-antz-nansen-mma-bout-added-to-nov-8-k-1-world-max-2010-event.mma |title=Satoshi Ishii vs. Antz Nansen MMA bout added to Nov. 8 K-1 World MAX 2010 event |date=27 October 2010 |work=mmajunkie.com |accessdate=27 October 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20101101194532/http://mmajunkie.com/news/21172/satoshi-ishii-vs-antz-nansen-mma-bout-added-to-nov-8-k-1-world-max-2010-event.mma| archivedate= 1 November 2010 | url-status= live}} However, Nansen was unable to compete
