UFC on Fuel TV: Mousasi vs. Latifi (also known as UFC on Fuel TV 9 or UFC Sweden 2) was a mixed martial arts event held on April 6, 2013 at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.[2] The event was broadcast live on Fuel TV.
Background
This event was the second event that the UFC has hosted in Sweden, following UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Silva which took place in 2012, and was the fastest selling European event in UFC history, selling out in just three hours, partly due to alleged involvement from ticket re-sellers.[3][4]
The event was expected to be headlined by top light heavyweight contender Alexander Gustafsson and former Dream Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion and former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, and promotional newcomer Gegard Mousasi.[5][6] However, on April 2 it was announced by the Swedish MMA Federation, that Gustafsson would not be cleared to participate at the event due to a cut he received during a sparing session on March 30.[7] Gustafsson was replaced by UFC newcomer Ilir Latifi, one of his main training partners.[8] The main event was also contested at three rounds, instead of the organization's customary five.
A bout between Robbie Peralta and Akira Corassani, previously linked to UFC 156,[9] was moved to this event after an illness sidelined Corassani for a short period of time.[10]
This event also featured the UFC debut of future Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor.
