FinnFighters Gym’s Minna Grusander (2-1) revealed a broken hand via social media. “Yep, I felt it pretty early on in the first round” says “Brutsku” that continued to battle a full 15 minutes against Japan’s Syuri Kondo (4-0) in the headliner at Pancrase 284 in Tokyo over the weekend.
The IMMAF Amateur World Champ was scheduled for a quick turnaround on March 11 against Ukrainian Elena Belaya (0-2) at Turku Fight 7. “I had to call off the bout” says the fighter to mmaViking.com. “But, I will be back for FNF 14 in May.”
Finish vet Jerry Kvarnstrom (11-9) is expected to take on Silvester Saba (3-4) for the Turku Fight Featherweight Championships in the headliner.
Finn Miko Kuronen was scheduled to take on Kai Karar, but Kuronen has been taken off the card due to a knee injury. He hopes to be able for Turku Fight in November.
