“Even a short notice it’s my chance, I was in preparation for another fight then I got a call for that so I just changed the plan and I’m feeling awesome to be there.”
Mousah fights out of Manchester, England. He won his last fight at Bellator in May, and has a two fight winning streak. The All Powers Gym fighter’s only losses are to UFC fighters Robert Whiteford and Marc Diakiese.

“I know isn’t an easy fight even more in a short notice but I use to have big challenges in my life, this is only part of the process.”
The card at Ex Palalido is headlined Melvin Manhoef and Yannick Bahati.
