As expected light heavyweights Alexander Gustafsson (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Gegard Mousasi (33-3-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will headline an April 6 event at Stockholm’s Ericsson Globe Arena.
The event is expected to be UFC on FUEL TV 9, though it’s also being billed as “UFC Sweden 2.” The night’s main card airs on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook.
Officials announced Gustafsson vs. Mousasi will be a five-round fight.
Ericsson Globe Arena also hosted UFC on FUEL TV 2 in 2011, and the event sold out in just three hours.
Tickets for the return trip go on sale to the general public on Feb. 9. However, UFC Fight Club members can buy tickets on Feb. 7, and UFC.com e-newsletter subscribers can purchase tickets on Feb. 8. Ticket prices haven’t been announced.
“Sweden is an incredible market for the UFC, and we’re excited to once again bring a major UFC card to the Ericsson Globe Arena,” Garry Cook, UFC executive vice president and managing director EMEA, stated. “Alexander Gustafsson is a big star in Sweden and has quickly grown in popularity worldwide thanks to his success in the octagon. We know the fans in Sweden will make the Ericsson Globe Arena an absolutely electric atmosphere as he takes on the very talented Gegard Mousasi on April 6.”
