“England and Ireland have already or intend to host recent events. And European neighbors Italy and Sweden could be next.”
- UFC in 2008

MMA Viking is dedicated to bringing the UFC to Sweden.  As the UFC expands with events throughout Europe, several new countries have been considered.  Sweden has been mentioned as a possibility, and I hope that the UFC and its fans find the information here about the MMA scene in Sweden (in english) helpful in bringing the UFC here.

Although there haven’t been any UFC events in Sweden, there have been two Swedish UFC fighters.  So far, they have combined records of 3 wins and 4 losses:

UFC 120
Expect to see Gustaffson face off against Cyrille Diabate (17-6-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) on October 16 at The 02 in London.
