Swede Besam Yousef is focused on fighting late-replacement against Danny Mitchell, but before he steps into the cage the UFC veteran sets the record straight about the timing of proposed match-ups with Papi Abedi and others, plus the rumoured proposal of the Reza Madadi bout after the injury to David Bielkheden. “It’s been a circus” Yousef tells MMAViking.com prior to the weigh-ins.

“It’s never been a question (the Madadi fight), I just saw it on the Internet” says Yousef about the Madadi matchup. He sets the record straight that an agreement was already in place for Danny Mitchell, and how he is preparing for tomorrow’s bout. The humble Gothenburg fighter also wishes Bielkheden the best in rehab.
