Swede Niklas Bäckström (10-2-0-1) will head to Helsinki to face Finn Joni Salovaara (16-8) this Saturday at CAGE 37, then will head to Ireland three weeks later to face Ronnie Mann for the title at BAMMA 27. “Because I am a bad mother f*cker” says the Allstars Training Center fighter about his ambitious plan of two wins in three weeks.
While the fighter from Luleå is usually seen with his aggressive pre-fight attitude and trash talk, he is heading to Finland and bout against the Espoon Kehähait fighter with a different tone. “Lol. He is a good fighter and a funny guy.” responds Bäckström to Salovaara’s statement that he was set on finishing the former UFC fighter.
“I need to have a good vacation in Luleå for Christmas” comments Bäckström that is looking to extend his winning streak to four before the holidays.
