This Saturday will be the UFC’s 3rd trip to Sweden, as they again set up for a Nordic heavy card at the Ericsson Globe. Most visiting fighters are already in town, and preparing for events prior to the fights. Undefeated Gunnar Nelson will look to climb to 5 wins and 0 losses with his bout against welterweight vet Rick Story in the headliner of ‘UFC Fight Night 53’. The co-feature will be Swede Akira Corassani versus Max Hollway in a main card with a Nordic fighter in each bout.
