• Weight class: Featherweight
• Pro record: 4-0
• Age: 24

Another really interesting 4-0 prospect is the knockout artist Alexander Lööf, who’s also fighting out of Västerås Fight Club. He was an early standout in his amateur days but has really turned things up a notch as a pro while also fighting across multiple weight classes.

Lööf made his professional debut at bantamweight and scored a brutal finish that got international media attention, despite almost dying while cutting weight (literally). A few fights later, he competed in a 73 kg catchweight bout that would technically count as a welterweight contest.

WHAT A FIGHT! 🤯

Featherweight is his optimal weight class though and recently we saw him pass his toughest test yet in a battle of undefeated Swedish prospects, as he defeated the previous-mentioned Samuel Bark by split decision in the FCR 12 headliner.

Lööf is under contract with polish MMA giant KSW and is expected to make his debut over there soon.
