On Saturday April 15, European fighting organization OKTAGON MMA returns with a stacked event in Liberec, Czech Republic.

The card features the popular and entertaining Swedish heavyweight Nermin Hajdarpasic who will face Robin Fosum in a catchweight bout.

Talking to Frontkick’s sister site Maximum Sports, the former Swedish boxing champion commented on the upcoming fight.

“My job is to turn strikers into wrestlers when they face me, that’s it, everyone wants to take me down in the end,” Hajdarpasic said. “I will give one hundred percent, I can tell you that.”

“There are only one heavyweight in Sweden. Heavyweight was dead before I entered the stage. People can say whatever they want, but I’m the Swedish heavyweight king.”
