Nicolas Ouellet feels Mateo Vogel is the perfect opponent for him at BFL 72

Powell River, B.C.’s Nicolas Ouellet (2-0) clashes with Ottawa, Ont.’s Mateo Vogel (5-2) for the BFL featherweight title at BFL 72. This fight transpires on April 28 from the Harbour Convention Centre in Vancouver, B.C. and will broadcast on UFC Fight Pass.

Having already been a champion for BFL in his amateur career, Ouellet, 25, will look to achieve the same feat in his professional career.

“Oh, it means a lot, man. Obviously, it’s surreal,” said Ouellet in an interview with MMA Empire.

“It’s a big opportunity and I’m just thankful, man. Just grateful to be in this position to fight for the BFL featherweight title. I’m excited to showcase my skills, man.”

Ouellet said he is focused on the task at hand as opposed to the bright lights of UFC Fight Pass or the grandeur of a title fight.

Ouellet’s thoughts on Vogel indicate a pronounced level of respect for the task at hand and wanting to embrace the high-risk fights for the high reward residuals. Read the rest of the story on MMAEmpire.ca
