His opponent will be Finland’s strongman Marko Patteri. He began his athletic career with Athletics and then went on to compete in Strongman competitions, and six years later he began with powerlifting. The transition to martial arts was very hard but still felt natural because it had always fascinated him. After practicing Wrestling, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Thai boxing he finally was captivated by the complexity of MMA. After five professional MMA bouts, the enormous Finn will soon come to Sweden to face the Swedish heavyweight Yosef in the first bout of Sweden vs. Finland MMA Country Clash.

Sweden vs. Finland MMA Country Clash is a concept created by Sweden’s Superior Challenge and Finland’s Cage. It is a new ultimate version of the traditional country clash between the countries, which is deeply rooted in both countries' traditions. As usual, the aim is to prove which country is the best, but instead of running fast or jumping high the participants challenges each other in a cage. Both promotions will have a certain number of bouts at a specific event once a year, and the country with the most wins will be victorious.

Babak Aghavali, CEO Superior Group International: - Yosef and his coach David from A.V.A.M. never turns down a fight, and the tougher the opponent, the better they feel, which is a very good attitude. But tough is the least one can say about his opponent. Marko is a huge, fierce, super strong all-around fighter. This will be the heaviest bout on the Superior Challenge 9 card and the first Sweden vs. Finland MMA Country Clash. I'm really looking forward to watch our young 110 kg talent take on 110 kg ferocious Finnish Sisu. It’s always something special with heavyweight bouts and particularly if the fighters have the attributes of these two giants.
