Andreas Ståhl won the Superior Challenge belt in 2022
On December 10, “Real Steel” finished Paulo Bananada at Superior Challenge 25 to become the promotion’s welterweight champion. With the win he avenged a tough second-round submission loss against Bananada in June 2022.
“This is the best experience so far, it’s an important milestone for me, where I am in my career at the moment,” Ståhl told Frontkick in an exclusive interview. “It felt like I was fighting on my home turf. I really delivered and got everything together, and the belt was just a big bonus. It felt like I was peaking right there and then.”
