Joachim Christensen (14-7) will return to action on February 2 at German MMA Championship (GMC) 18 in Hamburg Germany. The Dane will face Stephan Puetz (16-4) for the GMC belt. “I wrote Stephan so he could call me out and he did. I wanted to say hello and wish him a good camp and the best of luck to both of us and no injuries during our camps. I’m so privileged that I have to fight such a great person, athlete and champ.” says Christensen that has a win against German fighter from back in 2014.
“Me and Stephan have a great story together. We meet each other in Denmark, and European MMA 8. Here I won the fight, it was 3 rounds of clinch and some punches back and forth. None of us could take the other one down. So it ended 3-0 in favor of me. I saw Iit more like 2-1 to me. But it is what it is.” recalls the 40-year-old UFC vet.
“Then I later on, I won the GMC title, and I had to vacate it because UFC called me. Stephan who was the former M1 challenge title holder, now became the GMC champ.
So it goes like this. I won the 1 fight in Denmark, now we go to Germany and fight there for the 2 time, we start out in the 4 round he he, to champs For the the belt .”
