There are no solid information about where and when the event might take place, and furthermore there are no bouts confirmed or even romoured for the card. However, with the amount of talented fighters Sweden has, the card would no doubt be stacked.
So far the organization have visited the country six times. The first event, in April 2014, was headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson and Thiago Silva. A fight that Gustafsson won via unanimous decision.
