David challenges Besam in his hometown Gothenburg

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Swedish MMA pioneer David Bielkheden from Stockholm challenges Gothenburg's most popular MMA star Besam Yousef at Superior Challenge 9 on November 23, at Scandinavium

The Hilti fighter from Stockholm is one of Sweden's foremost MMA athletes who also have paved the way for Swedish athletes at international promotions, and represented Sweden in the world's largest arenas, far ahead of most. Bielkheden competed for Superior Challenge’s Welterweight title against the reigning title-holder Daniel Acacio at Superior Challenge 6, and at Superior Challenge 8 he fought none other than Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis. In his quest to conquer the Superior Challenge belt and also become the main Welterweight fighter in Sweden he now challenges Gothenburg’s Besam Yousef in his hometown.

Besam who recently got released from his contract with UFC was not late to accept the challenge. At his last two bouts the Gladius MMA fighter has fought Simeon Thoresen who is also booked to participate at Superior Challenge 9, and the Superior Challenge fighter Papy Abedi. The popular Gothenburger is clearly the favourite of them two, and will also have the hometown crowd’s full support.

Babak Aghavali, CEO Superior Group International: - Stockholm vs Gothenburg, Hilti vs Gladius, who is the best Welterweight fighter of the two? There are lots of variables, which make this bout interesting from several aspects. Besides, I love it when fighters challenge each other. David is determined to bring the Superior belt to Sweden, and thereby willing to fight anyone who can give him the opportunity to a title chance. Besam is a very tough fighter and I was really impressed by his last two bouts. In addition, he will have the support of his home crowd, but the question is whether that is enough against David's experience?

David Bielkheden, athlete: - I will eventually win the Superior Challenge belt and take it home to Sweden, and I’m willing to fight anyone in Sweden in order to show that I'm the best Swedish Welterweight fighter.

Besam Yousef, athlete: - It is going to be real fun to fight at Superior Challenge here in my hometown. I’m convinced that it will be really awesome atmosphere at the venue, with lots of Gothenburgers cheering for their local fighters.
