Finn Teemu Packalen is one of Finland’s top prospect, building up an undefeated record of seven wins and no losses. Yesterday, it was announced that the FinnFighters gym fighter was signed to a four match deal, starting with a Fight Night Finland (FNF) 10 bout in Turku.
Packalen told MMAViking.com shortly after his 23 second first round submission at FNF 9 that he was looking for international experience with a “fight abroad”. However, it looks like the international fighters will have to continue to challenge him on home turf.
“It’s not a fantasy the UFC should be realistic in the near future.” says the 28 year old lightweight that has does have an out clause in his latest contract.
Packalen has an unblemished record in both his two fight amateur and seven fight pro career. He turned pro in October of 2012.
Fight Night Finland 10 takes place in Turku on October 10th at the Kupittaan Urheiluhalli. No other fighters have been officially announced for the event.
