Tickets are selling fast through Ticnet.se for the UFC in Sweden 2, but the exact ticket status is a bit murky. The public sales started today, and shortly after there were reports of individuals having challenges to get multiple seats together in several sections for the big April 6 event. Messages like the one below have been seen this evening on Ticnet indicating a sellout, but now some tickets are available through the website.
MMA Viking is awaiting official comment directly from the UFC regarding ticket status, but Dana White tweeted the following :
Stockholm Sweden sold out in hours!!!! Gustafsson vs Mousasi

Pre-public sales were frantic over the last two days for UFC Fight Club members and newsletter subscribers, and yesterday MMA Viking provided a code for early purchases after some challenges were reported for those that were subscribed to the newsltter.
Headlining the cards at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden is the rising light heavyweight start Alexander Gustafsson. This time he takes another step toward a title shot with a highly anticipated bout against Gegard Mousasi. The card is being called UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Mousasi and is UFC on Fuel TV’s 9th card.
“Sweden is an incredible market for the UFC and we’re excited to once again bring a major UFC card to the Ericsson Globe Arena,” Garry Cook, UFC Executive Vice President and Managing Director EMEA, said recently. The hype for the UFC is still strong, and last year the event sold out in 3 hours after the public sale started in what the UFC claimed as the “fastest selling European event in UFC history”. Time will tell, how fast it will take to sellout the return of the Octagon, but all signs indicate a sellout soon.
While some fights aren’t officially announced, the most recent rumored fight card is :
Alexander Gustafsson Versus Gegard Mousasi
Akira Corassani Versus Robbie Peralta
Besam Yousef Versus Papy Abedi
Brad Pickett Versus Mike Easton
Conor McGregor Versus Marcus Brimage
Reza Madadi Versus Michael Johnson
