The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s upcoming trip to Sweden is shaping up to be a light heavyweight showcase.
Ilir Latifi will square off against Volkan Oezdemir, while Jimi Manuwa will meet Aleksandar Rakic in a pair of 205-pound bookings on the June 1 card. ESPN was first to report the bouts. UFC Stockholm takes place at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden and is headlined by a light heavyweight encounter between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Smith.
Latifi last appeared at UFC 232, where he lost a unanimous decision to Corey Anderson.
