While funny, unique, sexy, brutal, and unusual have been Instagrams that have been popular on MMAVikng’s Top 5 Instagrams the Week, it is a first with a throwback picture taking gold among all Nordic MMA posts.  Nico Musoke with Alexander Gustafsson at Abu Dhabi 2010 for UFC 112 wins gold.  The always entertaining Norwegian Emil Weber Meek’s photo of his MMA Trondheim crew and quad, Iceland’s Gunnar Nelson with some Icelandic riffle, Frantz Slioa, Michel Ersoy, and Fernando Gonzalez getting down to some music, and the UFC’s photo “Who’s Next” post with The Mauler and Anthony Johnson also get honorable mention. Check them out here.

Winner

Flashback Friday! Abu Dhabi 2010, UFC 112. Jag var med dig på den resan. Drömmen och motivationen att tävla i den högsta organisationen växte än mer efter den erfarenheten. Om 15 dagar fightas vi båda på samma kväll för den största organisationen inom MMA. Och i den näst största arenan i @ufc historia. Säkra era platser för den 24/1. Kommer blir magiskt! #ufcstockholm #ufcsweden #thetimeisnow #ufcfightnight @alexthemauler
