in a Light Heavyweight bout.\u00a0 This will be Smiths fourth consecutive main event fight, but this one taking place in his opponents back-yard.\u00a0 Gustafsson is the number two ranked competitor in the division, whilst Smith sits just below him at number 4.\u00a0 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<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The co-main event is Volkan Oezdemir of Switzerland squaring up to the Swede Ilir Latifi, in another light heavy weight battle.\u00a0 As with the main card, these fighters are reasonably well matched, but the Swede is shorter in stature by around 4 inches.\u00a0 Latifi will hope to climb towards becoming a title contender with a home
