The March 22nd Europa main event features two of Europe’s elite featherweights as Sweden’s undefeated Niklas Backstrom faces Germany’s once beaten Max Coga. With a combined record of 15-1, the result of the Backstrom-Coga bout will have significant ramifications throughout the featherweight division.
