Hindsight - UFC Stockholm: Gustafsson vs. Teixeira in retrospect

UFC Stockholm turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It wasn’t a very anticipated event as it was largely being lost in the shuffle between UFC 211 and UFC 212. The main event between Alexander Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira – highly anticipated a few years ago, not so much in the modern day – was about as entertaining as it could have been. Sure it was one-sided, but that doesn’t mean that Teixeira’s toughness couldn’t be admired. In the process, Gustafsson re-established himself as an elite light heavyweight after a period where there was reasonable doubt to that thought.
