Sweden Hosts UFC Fight Night – Gustafsson vs Smith

The Octagon heads to Stockholm Sweden this weekend, with the main event featuring Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Smith in a Light Heavyweight bout.  This will be Smiths fourth consecutive main event fight, but this one taking place in his opponents back-yard.  Gustafsson is the number two ranked competitor in the division, whilst Smith sits just below him at number 4.  Both are well experienced, and well-respected fighters, and it will be interesting to see if the home town crowd can push Gustafsson to victory

 

The co-main event is Volkan Oezdemir of Switzerland squaring up to the Swede Ilir Latifi, in another light heavy weight battle.  As with the main card, these fighters are reasonably well matched, but the Swede is shorter in stature by around 4 inches.  Latifi will hope to climb towards becoming a title contender with a home victory.
