David Haggström (7-1), Bantamweight, Sweden
Renyi Fight Camp’s David Haggström has stepped up his game lately like his teammates Andreas Ståhl and TUF contender Tor Troeng.
Haggström’s last two wins have catapulted him to top five Euro bantamweight status. First in April of 2012 Haggström got a decision win after five rounds of action over James Doolan on his home turf in Scotland.
