Christensen who comes with a two win streak hasn’t fought since May 3rd 2014, where the Dane won the title at SC10 against Swede Matti Mäkelä by a unanimous decision. A native of Sweden, “Power” started his professional MMA carrier in light heavyweight and then moved down to middleweight, but has now returned to the light heavy weight division with the ambition to become the next titleholder of the division for Superior Challenge.
