Last weekend the UFC hit two fight towns with two separate events.
UFC Fight Night Stockholm went down Sweden and featured an epic battle between Rick Story and Gunnar Nelson.
Across the pond in Canada, the UFC returned to action with UFC Fight Night Halifax. In the evening’s main event, Rory MacDonald made his case for UFC gold in shutting down Tarec Saffiedine.
Here’s the immediate reactions from the weekend’s defeated fighters.
