Battle of Botnia 8 adds a highly interesting fight to the fight card as Swedish strawweight prospect Nina Back returns for her second pro outing.

Back will take on British fighter Indy “The Fire” Briar in a three-round strawweight bout. Briar is known to the Swedish MMA crowd for her amateur win at Superior Challenge 25 this past December.

The Swede lost her pro debut against Josefine Modig at FCR 17 in September, and is looking for her first win as a professional MMA fighter. As an amateur in the National Team, she no fewer than five IMMAF silver medals.
