“Nobody wants to fight me” Niklas Bäckström tells MMA Viking. The undefeated Swede has been on the sidelines waiting for a bout, and says “I’ll fight anybody”. The Allstars Training Center fighter wants to fight a top ranked fighter and is open to a bout with Finland’s Tom Niinimäki. See the exclusive video interview filmed after Golden Ring in Stockholm this last Friday.
Backstrom is undefeated at 5 wins, 0 losses, and 1 no contest. He last one via TKO over Norway’s Thomas Hytten in May of 2012 at Vision FC FN 1. Niinimäki is 19-5-1 and seen as being on the verge of a UFC deal. He last beat Chase Beebe this past May in unanimous decision at Cage 22.
