FCR 12 breakdown and prospect watch – someone’s 0 has got to go

Josefine Modig

Amateur record: 6-2

Facing: Janika Antinmaa

In the first fight of the preliminary card, Swedish national team member Josefine Modig steps into the cage to take on Finland’s Janika Antinmaa in a strawweight amateur contest.

Modig is still relatively unexperienced, but has definitely turned a corner as her development skyrocketed following the covid pandemic. She went from being somewhat mediocre to becoming one of the biggest IMMAF standouts, scoring a gold medal at last year’s world cup in Prague and a silver medal at this year’s world championship in Abu Dhabi. Modig also became the Swedish amateur MMA champion in her division shortly thereafter.

Her opponent Antinmaa has scored various IMMAF medals herself and as well as multiple national titles.
