MMAViking.com spent the day with Reza Madadi, as the former UFC fighter talks about everything inside and outside of the cage since his last bout in April against Michael Johnson. “Don’t believe everything you see and read in the media” says Madadi who is now focuses on training twice a day in Stockholm.

“I’ve had a really hard time” expresses Madadi who has appealed the verdict decision against him. “I don’t need to do any smash and grab….. I want to show it’s not true” says the lightweight who was dropped from the UFC roster after the verdict.

“I want to jump in and fight” says Madadi that was in discussion to fight at this weekend’s Superior Challenge, as a late replacement. ‘Mad Dog’ expresses that he won’t hide, and that he is determined to prove his innocence, come back stronger and get back to the UFC where he belongs.
