Superior Challenge is one of Europe’s largest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) shows and this year the fight card is stacked with well-known, experienced talent, including Synergy sponsored fighter Malin Hermansson. Malin is training hard in preparation to compete in Superior Challenge for the first time on December 2 in Stockholm.
Women’s MMA is growing rapidly and Malin is honored to be invited to fight in this event with so many impressive competitors vying for the same opportunities. She is grateful for fighters, such as Ronda Rousey and Joanna Jędrzejczyk, who have drawn attention to women in the sport.
“There are so many badass girls out there nowadays,” Malin said, and at Synergy, we believe Malin is one of them.Malin breathes MMA and it has been her goal for many years to compete in an event like this.
“MMA is the ultimate challenge both physically and mentally,” Malin said. “the sport is always evolving and you will always have new stuff to learn and work on.”
Looking at the root of these challenges, Malin admits her biggest challenge is herself. It takes a lot of self-discipline to train and eat well every day. She always has to be on her A-game to improve as a fighter and maintain optimal health.
“Synergy products have helped me a lot in my fighting career,” Malin said. “I use all of the products and they are so important to me. I’m 100 % serious when I say I wouldn't be able to train as hard as I do not without the products … and my recovery from training would be a lot worse.”
Currently, Malin trains twice per day, focusing on strength and conditioning in the morning and MMA technique training in the evening. In preparation for Superior Challenge, Malin will travel to Bali for intensive training that she believes is what she must do to put up a solid fight on December 2.
It’s at events like Superior Challenge that large organizations, such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Bellator, spot promising talent, so Malin is excited to see if this event will open any doors for her.
