Meek returns to face Taleb in Stockholm
After a spectacular 2016 campaign that saw him knock out UFC vet Rousimar Palhares in 45 seconds, then debut in the Octagon with a big win over Jordan Mein, Norway’s Emil Meek will make his first start of 2017 in Stockholm, when he faces Nordine Taleb in a welterweight bout at Ericsson Globe on Sunday, May 28.
“It’s amazing,” Meek said. “I’ve waited so long for this, and am really excited to compete so close to Norway. The people that will cheer me on in the Globe mean everything to me. To think that perhaps thousands of Norwegians will have my back in Stockholm, it’s crazy.”
