UFC On Fuel TV 9: Fight Card

With the confusion over who will headline UFC On Fuel TV 9 now settled the fight card for the event in Sweden this weekend is (hopefully) 100% set.

The new headliner sees former Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi making his debut against Sweden’s own Ilir Latifi (7-2)who steps into the Octagon for the first time as a late replacement for the injured Alexander Gustafsson.

In the co-main event slot we find former TUF champion Ross Pearson welcoming Strikeforce’s Ryan Couture (yes, son of Randy Couture) to the UFC in a lightweight scrap.

Meanwhile, in the heavyweight division Phil De Fries looks to improve upon his 1-2 record in the UFC against Matt Mitrione who’s also looking to impress after a two-fight losing run.

In a battle of the bantamweights Brad Pickett fights Mike Easton and at featherweight it’s TUF: Brazil winner Diego Brandao Vs Pablo Garza.

Meanwhile, opening the main card will be hometown hero Akira Corassani who’ll slug it out with Robert Peralta.
