Which former champion will prevail in a battle of European lightweights?
In an already tough sport, former paratrooper [autotag]Terry Brazier[/autotag] is one of the toughest individuals you could wish to meet. And the Englishman’s ability to break the will of his opponents has been a hallmark of his performances over the years as he became a two-division BAMMA champion.
Now Brazier (11-2 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) takes on “The True Viking” [autotag]Soren Bak[/autotag], whose own toughness was on display for all to see in a thrilling Cage Warriors lightweight title bout against Paddy Pimblett, where he somehow survived a deep rear-naked choke from the noted submission specialist before taking the unanimous decision – and the vacant title.
Bak (13-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) was offered a shot at the UFC, but instead opted to take his skills – and his ax – to Bellator, where he immediately finds himself in with a man with similar fighting philosophies to his own.
It should be a real battle of wills between two genuine European hard men. But who will get their hand raised at the end of the fight?
