The UFC is heading to Sweden for the first time in more than two years with UFC Fight Night 153 at Stockholm's Ericsson Globe on Saturday. Swedish fighter Alexander Gustafsson will face Anthony Smith to headline the main card.

Gustafsson (18-5-0) last fought in December 2018, where he was knocked out by Jon Jones in the third round. He's lost three of his last five bouts, with his other losses coming from Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson. Smith (31-14-0) is also coming off a recent loss to Jones via unanimous decision after five rounds. The Nebraska native moved up to the light heavyweight division in June 2018 and quickly saw results, knocking out Rashad Evans and Mauricio Rua that summer. He later submitted Volkan Oezdemir in a bout in the fall of 2018 to earn the fight with Jones.
