Pulver vs Aziz Set for Superior Challenge 9 on Nov. 23


Sami Aziz is clearly one of Sweden's most dedicated athletes with 30 years of experience in competitions as Olympic Wrestler, Swedish National Team Boxer, and MMA fighter. There are very few fighters in the world with the same athletic background. This, together with an iron will, incredible physique, and surgical precision makes him a unique and very entertaining fighter. Aziz has always strived to fight the MMA elite and has taken on names such as Rafael Dias, Emmanuel Fernandez, Fabio Mello, Jameel Massouh, and Joachim Hansen. Given that his last fight at Superior Challenge 6 was against "Hellboy", it is rather ironic that he soon will stand against "Little Evil".

Jens Pulver has also a very impressive athletic background as Wrestler, BJJ grappler, Kick boxer and Professional Boxer, before he moved on to MMA. He is formally known as a hard hitting stand up fighter and a great wrestler, which has made him one of the true legends of MMA. Little Evil fought his first professional MMA bout in 1999 and became soon after UFC's first lightweight champion by defeating no other than Caol Uno. Besides Caol Pulver has during his 15 years as a professional fighter, and 46 pro MMA bouts, faced fighters such as BJ Penn (twice), Dennis Hallman, Duane Ludwig, Takanori Gomi, Hayato Sakurai, Leonard Garcia and Urijah Faber (twice) etc. He has participated in the world's biggest MMA organizations and competed in weight classes from bantam to light. Pulver describes himself as a Sprawl and Brawl fighter and has won the majority of his fights by KO/TKO. He appeared on "The Ultimate Fighter 5" as coach against BJ Penn, and has been featured in a documentary about his training camp, personal life and difficult childhood called "Jens Pulver: Driven."

On November 23, the legend Jens Pulver will come to Sweden to face Sami Aziz in his hometown Gothenburg at Superior Challenge 9, in one of Sweden's largest arenas called Scandinavium.


Babak Aghavali, CEO Superior Group International - Both of these guys have hands like sledge hammers so it will probably be an explosion when they meet. Style-wise, it's an incredibly interesting matchup. Both Sami and Jens have wrestling backgrounds and great boxing skills. Jens has his iron fists and tremendous experience and it's an honour to have him fighting at Superior Challenge. This will be Sami's last fight and he will end his career where it ones started, in his hometown Gothenburg. That's why he is determined to give 100% when the cage doors closes. I promise, no one in Scandinavium will be left unaffected on November 23rd.
