Fortunes changed for five at UFC Fight Night 109

Alexander Gustafsson's Sunday afternoon was like the ending scene of a "Happily Ever After" movie.

He won a grueling fight in front his hometown fans in Stockholm, Sweden, asked his girlfriend to get married, and she said yes, all within a few minutes on live television.

A star in UFC almost from his arrival in 2009, Gustafsson was on the losing end of two of the best championship fights in light heavyweight division history — the classic with Jon Jones and a fight with Daniel Cormier that he lost via split decision.
