Two of the best light heavyweights in the world are set to meet on May 28th when Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira step into the octagon at UFC Fight Night 109 from Stockholm.
Gustaffson last fought at UFC Fight Night 93 this past September where he earned a unanimous decision victory over Jan Blachowicz. “The Mauler” was supposed to face Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC Fight Night 100 this past November but was forced to pull out after suffering a back injury.
Teixeia is also coming off a win during his last fight as he defeated Jared Cannonier at UFC 208 in Brooklyn, New York last month.
