The UFC will host its 6th event in Stockholm, Sweden. This Saturday, the leading promotion is back at the same location they debuted at in April 14, 2012 at the Ericsson Globe.
The card has just been finalized with Swede Rostem Akman (6-0) getting a very late-notice signing to face Sergey Khandozhko (26-5-1), that was left without an opponent due to injury. There are now 13 bouts on the card.

UFC Senior Vice President, International and Content, David Shaw said at the card’s announcement “We’re delighted to be returning to Sweden.
