its a very balanced card and imo overall much better match making in it. A lot of hidden gem fights like Diabete vs Jorgen, Abedi vs Head, Madadim vs Izq
i see a lot of potential in this fight card.
It's an interesting card in my opinion. Loads of new comers and great match ups.

Most diverse UFC card to date? TEN different nationalities. Also, amazing card, I think.
Gustafsson Silva has star power, local draw AND a crucial fight for the up and coming swede + the returning brazilian. Really keen to see this fight.
Stann Sakara both coming off losses, both yearning for victory, both bring it and both try to finish at all times
Other big names too.. Siver, Diabate, Paulo Thiago.. and debuts of several fighters the local audience want to see, for me in particular Simeon Thoresen. I desperately want him to win and get that very first Norwegian W in the UFC ;)
Not the biggest names EVER, but for hard core scandinavian fans this card is absolutely stellar.
so many interesting fights on this card.
good stuff NFH
It's crazy to think that Boxing wasn't legal there up until 5 years ago.
Sweden's Olympics in the early 20th century were the only ones to not include amateur boxing ever since the sport's introduction to the events
are any of these guys actually from a nordic country or are the all from africa/middle east?
SleepBomb - are any of these guys actually from a nordic country or are the all from africa/middle east?
Gustafsson, Kruth and Cedenblad were born in Sweden. Thoresen is Norwegian.
