Superior Challenge 9 takes place tomorrow at Scandinavium in Gothenburg. For the first time, the Superior promotion heads to GBG and has ambitiously built a card of local stars and international talent. Headlining the card is a retirement bout for Swede Sami Aziz, who will take on the UFC’s first-ever lightweight champion Jens Pulver. Another local in former UFC fighter Besam Yousef was supposed to take on David Bielkheden as the co-headliner, but a last-second injury will see Danny Mitchell step in against Yousef.
