The UFC returned to Stockholm, Sweden for a special Sunday edition of UFC Fight Night.
In the main event, Sweden’s own Alexander Gustafsson fights fellow former title challenger Glover Teixeira. Both light heavyweights stand on top of the UFC rankings, and the winner could be in line for a title opportunity.
Another pivotal light heavyweight matchup took place as top-10 ranked fighters Volkan Oezdemir and Misha Cirkunov fought in the co-main event.
Neither fighter was hesitant to start the fight. Cirkunov swarmed Oezdemir, but Oezdemir landed a brutal shot to knock out the light heavyweight prospect.
Official Result:
Volkan Oezdemir def. Misha Cirkunov by knockout (0:28 Rd 1)
