Mixed martial arts warrior Dan "The Viking" Evensen (5-2-0) will be seeking victory at all costs when Bodog Fight: Costa Rica Combat continues on Tuesday, May 1st at 11 p.m. / 10 p.m. Central on ION Television.

After winning his first five pro fights, the 6-foot-5, 260-pound Norwegian has suffered two straight defeats.

"I have to win," said the 32-year old Evensen before stepping into the ring. "I don't care who my opponent is. It's going to be violent, and I'm going to end this fight."

Standing in his way is 32-year old Jeremiah "The Good Ole Boy" Constant (4-1-0) who hails from Oklahoma but now trains in Oregon with middleweight sensation Matt Lindland (20-5-0) at Team Quest.

"I've been wrestling my whole life," he said in Costa Rica, "so I'm always going to be a wrestler."

Evensen had strong words for his opponent. "I hate all wrestlers worldwide," he said. "I like to fight and that's punching and kicking. It's going to be all I've got to keep it standing the whole fight. I'm guessing he's going to be the total opposite."

In other MMA action, episode three features a fight between Pennsylvania's Stephen Haigh (3-2-0) and Takuya Wada (13-7-8) of Japan.
