He may not be making that much noise outside of the cage, but Alexander Lindgren is the dark horse that shouldn’t be overlooked.

The Västerås Fight Club welterweight was solid for a long time as an amateur, winning fights both at home and at some IMMAF championships while representing the national team. He definitely turned a corner before turning pro though and now he’s on a three-fight win streak with all victories coming by way of finish.

The one blemish on Lindgren’s record is his pro debut which ended in a knockout loss to Christian Stigenberg, who we’ll come back to in a second.
