(PRESS RELEASE) -- Domingos Mestre will take on the Norwegian Simeon Thoresen in front of his home crowd at Superior Challenge 9 on November 23 at Scandinavium in Gothenburg.
Babak Aghavali, CEO Superior Group International: - I have followed Domingos career for quite some time now and he is constantly evolving. I met Simeon first time in 2006 when I visited Joachim Hansen in Norway, and after a hard sparring session consisting of 2 hours of Ground and Pound Joachim turned to me as he pointed at Simeon and said "if you want a real talent, keep your eyes on that guy." Both Domingos and Simeon are experienced and talented athletes and style wise very similar. Therefore it’s a very even and interesting matchup of highest quality. The winner of the bout will have the opportunity to qualify for a Welterweight title shot. I hope the bout turns in to an intensive MMA-grappling match with a lot of scramble and submission attempts, but regardless I know that it will be a very entertaining bout.
Experience adrenaline-full sports entertainment when Europe's most qualitative MMA promotion, Superior Challenge comes to the Scandinavian capital of martial arts, Gothenburg, with its 9th edition on November 23rd at Scandinavium.
