World Championships day 2: Two Swedish fighters advances!

Flying start for Ellen Karlsson

Stockholm’s Ellen Karlsson faced Linda Vesela from Slovakia in the eight finals and put on heavy pressure right from the start. Karlsson put in solid work on the feet, in the clinch and on the ground, and by the end of the second round, Vesela was in a bad spot but eventually saved by the bell.

In the third round, Karlsson mounted her Slovakien opponent and unleashed a barrage of ground-and-pound until the referee stepped in to stop the fight.

Flying start from Ellen Karlsson who’s now set for the quarterfinals!
