Sick matchup.
Gustafsson and Mousasi have verbally agreed to meet on April 6 in Sweden. The event is expected to be dubbed UFC on FUEL TV 9. MMAFighting.com confirmed the story with one source earlier in the week, and Swedish MMA Web site Kimura.se is reporting Gustafsson announced the fight at a gym opening in Sweden on Saturday. This will mark the UFC's second trip to Sweden. UFC on FUEL TV 2, also headlined by Gustafsson, was held in Stockholm, Sweden last April, and the sold-out event was a rousing success. The same report states UFC on FUEL TV 9 will also be held at Stockholm's Ericsson Globe Arena.

Gegard is a MMA guy who can actually slip and angle, he could be real trouble for Gustafsson whose hands are too loose and who seems to have preyed on MT fighters.

I wonder what a win would mean for Mousasi. Gus has been entrenched as the #2 contender for what seems like forever. Would a win get him a title shot right away? Gotta put him in a title eliminator at least.

Wow, this is a great fight.
Can we get Gunnar Nelson on this card too?!
He's from the area.

Gunnar Nelson is busy co-headlining the next UK card. :snort/scoff: Him against Justin Edwards is a selling point.

I love this match-up almost as much as the price (free).
I hope Mousasi wins, but I would never bet against Gustafasson (especially at home)...!

According to the Nederlandse Publieke Omroep 10 minutes ago, Gergard Moussasi has suffered a broken hand during training and will not be ready for his up and coming bout with Gusstaffson. Cant believe the bad luck the UFC is having of late. Who will Guss fight now??

Oooof. Hendo/Machida if an early stoppage?
It'll probably be some hack like Forrest or Fat Franklin or something.

Bader and Glover should be available. Rogerio too, but I seem to remember Gus beating him already. Or that could be another up and comer, since Rogerio seems to be the gatekeeper.

I think Bader makes sense, but he loses that fight 9 times out of ten.
Damn you Moussasi's hand! DAMN. lol

Gus was on mmahour yesterday. Man, I really like both of these fighters.
Gus guaranteed a finish. I think Mousasi got this though!!
