The fight will take place in Gustafsson&#8217;s home country of Sweden on April 6th, at the Ericsson Globe Arena.<\/p>\n<p>For Gustafsson, he comes off of a great 2012 that saw him defeat Mauricio Rua in early December and Thiago Silva in his home country back in April.

No easy task for anyone, but Mousasi (and his fans alike) have waited along time for the Armenian to make his UFC debut to compete with the best fighters in the world. Now, Mousasi has his chance and with a win over Gustafsson, can easily cut the line to a title shot later this year.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Ericsson Globe Arena, it previously hosted the UFC&#8217;s last trip to Sweden back in April when Gustafsson headlined UFC on Fuel TV.
