Three new bouts announced for UFC’s return to Stockholm
Esther Lin, MMA FightingThe UFC will return to Stockholm, Sweden on May 28, and the promotion announced a trio of fights for the event.
Headlined by top light heavyweights Alex Gustafsson vs. Glover Teixeira at the Ericsson Globe arena, UFC Fight Night: Stockholm will also feature Jack Hermansson vs. Alex Nicholson, Magnus Cedenblad vs. Chris Camozzi, and Damian Grabowski vs. Christian Colombo.
Born in Sweden, Hermansson (14-3) looks to bounce back from his first UFC loss, a submission defeat to Cezar Ferreira that snapped a nine-fight winning streak. Nicholson (7-3), who has competed as a heavyweight before in his MMA career, is 1-1 since returning to the middleweight division.
