Boussif said:
“It’s a great opportunity for me to fight on BAMMA. It’s an amazing show, and when you look at the rest of the card it’s one of the best cards of 2013. I am really pleased to get the opportunity to fight Leon. He’s a great fighter and I expect a war as both of us come to finish. I can not wait for Sept 14th; it’s going to be a blast!”
