Unless you crawled under a rock for the past week, it’s no surprise that Sweden has been in the UFC’s plans for an event this spring.

UFC officials on Wednesday, however, confirmed the UFC on Fuel TV 2 for the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm. The promotion has been planning for quite some time to expand into Sweden, it’s just been a matter of when and where.

Despite the confirmation, little has been released by way of details, although there is one fight already in the works for the card. MMAWeekly.com sources recently confirmed that DeMarques Johnson will face off with John Maguire on the UFC’s first Swedish fight card, which is slated for April 14.

More info with updated Card

Less than 24 hours after confirming UFC on Fuel TV 2 on April 14 in Stockholm, Sweden, UFC officials have also firmed up a significant portion of the fight card.

Including a middleweight bout between Brian Stann and Alessio Sakara, UFC officials on Thursday confirmed six bouts for its debut event in Sweden.

The UFC on Fuel TV 2 main card will feature the previously reported bout between DeMarques Johnson and John Maguire, as well as the Stann vs. Sakara bout.

The four preliminary bouts announced, not surprisingly, include several Swedes and a heavy dose of European flavors.

Swede Besam Yousef (6-0) squares off with Norway’s Simeon Thoresen (16-2-1) in a welterweight bout. Magnus Cedenblad (10-3), fighting in his hometown, faces Frenchman Francis Carmont (17-7). Also fighting on his home turf is Jorgen Kruth (5-0), who steps in the Octagon for the first time against another Frenchman in Cyrille Diabaté (17-8-1). The final confirmed bout pits James Head against Papy Abedi in a welterweight contest previously reported by MMAWeekly.com.
