Filed under: Featured , News , UFC In a matchup of light heavyweights several years in the making, Alexander Gustafsson knocked out Glover Teixeira in Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 109 headliner at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. Gustafsson (18-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) used his quick and diverse striking to pick apart Teixeira (26-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) for a fifth-round knockout victory in the FS1-televised bout. “The Mauler” has now won consecutive fights for the first time since 2012 and could be back on the cusp of another UFC title shot. Prior to the main event, Volkan Oezdemir (14-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) continued the stunning start to his UFC career, Peter Sobotta (17-5-1 MMA, 4-4 UFC) found more success in his second UFC run, and Omari Akhmedov (16-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC), Nordine Taleb (13-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Jack Hermansson (15-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) all earned decisive victories. After every event, fans wonder whom the winners will be matched up with next.
