Swedish Youth Champion Sixten Larsson is unbeaten as a Muay Thai fighter as he enters the ring at Muay Thai For Life: Unite Against Cancer on Saturday.
Facing him for a catchweight bout is seasoned MMA fighter and Muay Thai specialist Christopher ”El Bandido” Bajo from Malmö.
“He’s an extremely hard fighter, very unorthodox. He switches stance a lot and is very all-around,” Larsson tells Käftsmällspodden about his opponent. “He has got good punches and punches and is very good in the clinch.”
As the Youth Champion started to fight in higher weight classes, he wanted to face the toughest fighters possible.
“He got on my radar, why not challenge the best in Sweden?” Larsson asks .”I’m going to be explosive and mean. I will move around and always do something to break his rhythm.”
