Josefine Knutsson, holding a professional MMA record of 8 wins and 1 loss, is gearing up for a strawweight bout against Mileide Simplicio (6 wins, 3 losses) at OKTAGON 87 on April 25th. In a recent interview, Knutsson shared insights into her career transition, including her release from the UFC last year and a subsequent, ultimately unsuccessful, venture with GFL.
Looking ahead to her upcoming fight, Knutsson expressed her determination to dictate the terms of the engagement: “I’m going to turn the fight into the way I want to do it. I’ll keep my feet on the ground. All situations I have an open mindset. I’m going to try to finish her with my striking for her. That’s my main goal, but we’ll see what happens.”
