Swedish amateur MMA fighter Anton Ringvall returns to action at Battle of Botnia 8 to take on Finland’s Verneri Hakkinen in a lightweight bout.
Ringvall comes from a submission win against another Finnish MMA fighter in Miro Honkanen at this past Saturday’s Carelia Fight 17. He also fought in leading Swedish MMA promotions like Allstars Fight Night, Fight Club Rush and Wolf Fight Promotion.
Hakkinen has 9-9 amateur record and last competed at CAGE 59 in September.
Battle of Botnia 8 will take place on December 9 at Thorén Arena in Umeå. The card features a welterweight title bout where the promotion’s reigning champion Andreas Ståhl takes on Max Denner in his first title defense.
The Umeå crowd will also see their home town hero Fernando ”El Toro” Flores take one Aridane Romero Rodriguez in a featherweight co-main event.
