The anticipated Superior Challenge 24 main event started at a high pace. Robin “Pretty Boy” Roos landed a flush combination that floored Håkon “Death” Foss, who eventually got up. However, with just seconds left of the round, Roos floored the Norwegian again and landed some heavy ground-and-pound that finished the fight.
“My weightcut was extreme, and I almost faced death last night. I could not lose to “Death” today, ” Roos said during the post fight interview. “I felt good, but I might go up a weight class after this.”
“All the training I did before the fight gave good results. I want to trust in myself and what I have, I have been fighting since I was a child.”
Håkon “Death” Foss retires
Even tough Håkon Foss didn’t lose his belt, since Roos did not make championship weight, he decided to retire after the fight at Superior Challenge 24.
“I am 35 years old, I have a family and full time job, I don’t have time for this anymore, ” Foss said in the post fight interview. “This is my tenth year as a professional fighter, and my twentieth fight, and the way I felt tonigth I never want to feel again. Now I want to do something else with my life.”
