At the top of the Official Swedish MMA Rankings for lightweights we find UFC standout Guram Kutateladze who’s one of the most interesting prospects in the stacked division.

The ”Georgian Viking” has a record of 1-1 in the UFC, and a total professional MMA record of 12-3, and defeated former KSW double champ and current No. 7 ranked UFC lightweight Mateusz Gamrot in his promotional debut.

Holding the No. 2 is Cage Warriors fighter Tobias Harila, who’s also ranked No. 2 in the featherweight rankings. ”Bad Intention” has made a name for himself with entertaining walkouts and furious knockouts. In his last fight he stopped Damon Wilson with a massive second-round KO at Cage Warriors 148.

The No. 3 spot in the rankings belongs to David Jacobsson who’s known for his relentless energy as he’s both a fighter and the mastermind behind local Swedish organization Wolf Fight Promotion. In October, ”Fat Boy Slim” successfully promoted and headlined WFP 4 in Halmstad.

The only new faces on the official lightweight rankings are Tobias Söderberg, who delivered a slick submission win in his professional debut, and Wolf Pack prospect Djaba Murtazaliev who won his debut in dominant fashion.
