The octagon returns to Sweden for today’s UFC Stockholm event, a twelve-bout fight card headlined by a key light heavyweight scrap between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Smith.<\/p>\n
Both Smith and Gustafsson will enter tonight’s contest looking to rebound, this after each man fell short in their respective bids to dethrone reigning light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.<\/p>\n
Alexander Gustafsson (18-5 MMA) was defeated by “Bones” via third round knockout in his most recent octagon<\/a> appearance at UFC 232. Prior to that, “The Mauler” had scored back to back wins over Glover Teixeira and Jan Blachowicz respectively.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Anthony Smith was last seen in action at April’s UFC 235 event, where he lost to Jon Jones<\/a> via unanimous decision. The setback snapped a three-fight winning streak for “Lionheart”, who had previously scored stoppage victories over Shogun Rua, Rashad Evans and Volkan Oezdemir.<\/p>\n In the co-main event of UFC Stockholm, knockout artist Jimi Manuwa returns to action for a fight with Aleksandar Rakic.<\/p>\n If that wasn’t enough to get you interested, today’s fight card also features the return of TUF Brazil winner Leonardo Santos.<\/p>\n Get all of tonight’s UFC Stockholm fight results and highlights below:<\/p>\n UFC Stockholm Main Card:<\/strong><\/p>\n Alexander Gustafsson vs. Anthony Smith – Smith def.
