Christian Stigenberg is an interesting fighter. His fighting style is quite awkward and will sometimes remind you of the Diaz brothers. Also, he’s tall for his weight class – which explains is nickname ”Lången” which basically means tall guy in Swedish.

Stigenberg represent Söders Fight Gym, a really unique fight gym that is starting to make some real impact on the Swedish MMA scene.

As mentioned above, Stigenberg’s pro debut ended with an impressive knockout victory against a fellow Swedish prospect. He’s since won two more fights and lost one. Most recently, Stigenberg looked better than ever as he put on hell of a performance against the highly-touted Theodor Berggren, handing him his first professional loss after a clear-cut decision win.
