January 13th.14: As 2014 continues to produce exciting developments, Battle Arena – one of the UK’s leading amateur mixed martial arts promotions, is proud to announce that Iceland’s Mjölnir MMA team, lead by UFC welterweight prodigy Gunnar Nelson and Coach Haraldur Dean Nelson, will be competing on a Battle Arena card this year. The visiting troops consist of eight amateur contenders competing on a diverse international card, also with a trio of fighters from Switzerland’s Team Dabigz set to make their amateur debuts. The Swiss are matched up for Battle Arena’s Oxford show on 29th March and the Icelandic fighters could be set for as early as March also but more likely to be matched for May 24th at Battle Arena’s Northampton show, dates and travel are currently being confirmed.
Battle Arena CEO James Price said: “It’s great to be able to invite teams from all over the world to compete on our shows. We are really looking forward to seeing our Swiss and Icelandic friends fighting in March/May.
