Mikkel Parlo's pro debut opponent announced!

The 19 year old prospect Mikkel Parlo from Fightcraft gym is making his long awaited pro debut at Fightergalla 12 the 6th of February. Parlo will face the Dutchman Willem Peters from Mike's gym in Amsterdam.



Many people in the danish MMA community has awaited the pro debut of the teen who has a bunch of awesome victories in MMA, shootfighting, submission wrestling and stand-up behind him. Despite of his young age finding amateur opponents was difficult that he needed to go pro to fight. This was no problem for the talented hard worker who is up to any challenge.

Willem Peters, who is also making his debut, is an experienced grappler with a purple belt in BJJ, but his biggest force could be his experience from the great sparring partners available in Mike's Gym.


Also on the Fightergalla card is Kenneth Rosfort and David Rosmon and many amateur fighters.
Tickets are available through Billetnet.dk

Martin Kampmann vs. Ben Saunders at UFC 111 in March

The top Danish fighter Martin 'Hitman' Kampmann has agreed to a fight against Ben 'Killa B' Saunders at UFC 111 the 27 of March in New Jersey.

Courtesy of sherdog.com

The Hitman won his last fight against Jacob Volkmann at UFC 108 and is looking to get back into title contention after being brutally TKO'ed by Paul Daley.

Ben Saunders lost his fight against Mike Swick, who was supposed to fight Kampmann for a shot at the Welterweight title but withdrew with an injury leaving Kampmann in the hands of Paul Daley. Instead Saunders proved himself with a win in his last fight against Marcus Davis by way of a devastating thai clinch.

Though both of fighters' last fights was denoted to the preliminary card and not shown on the pay per view, this fight will probably have it's spot right up there with the already crowded main card containing 2 titlefights!

Fightergalla 12 fightcard breakdown pt. 1

Fightergalla 12 will take place on the 6th of February and although the fightcard has not been fully released, there are already some really awesome fights.


The main event Kenneth Rosfort vs Franco De Leonardis is a fight for the lightweight title and it is a typical striker vs grappler matchup:
De Leonardis is a black belt i BJJ with a MMA record of 11 wins with 4 losses.
Rosfort is a devastating striker winning most his fights by TKO or KO and he won his last fight again the skilled grappler Jeff Lawson by an impressive KO. Jeff Lawson afterwards called rosfort "slippery bastard" to describe how dificult it was to keep him on the ground, bearing that in mind i would bet my money on Rosfort by KO.

The co-main event David Rosmon vs Ramond Jarman is a fight for the welterweight title:
This fight is a rematch from their first meeting at fightergalla 6 in 2008 where Jarman won by submission, in the mean time Rosmon has won the title and is now seeking to get his revenge. Ramond Jarman has since fought 2 times in the M-1 challenge.
Both fighters are skilled in all aspects of the game, so we are most likely to see an exciting fight.

Other pro fighters on the card is the prospect Mikkel Parlo who makes his pro debut and Sonny Nielsen but both their opponents will be announced later.

Happy New Year! Welcome to a great year for danish MMA

I'm back, after a layoff through all of december. The layoff is both due to the lack of danish MMA news and also because i have used a lot of time starting up a new MMA gym in Roskilde, with some of the crew from RBK, wich i probably will do an article on later.

Looking at the calendar, 2010 already looks as a great year for danish MMA. We have Fightergalla 12 and Adrenaline 4 in February, FG Fight Night in March and Fightergalla 13 in April.

On top of all the great shows there are two Danes fighting for their titles at 10th Legion and Martin Kampman should be able to start another great winning streak tonight against Jacob Volkmann.
