Lina Länsberg has an old van from ’81, and she’s already eyeing the celebratory vaction she’ll be taking at this Saturday’s bout at UFC Stockholm.
Whatever the outcome, the vacation will be a well-earned one. The fight will be her first in Sweden under the UFC banner, and rarely has a mixed martial artist that so proudly represents their native land had to wait so long to fight there.
There was a close call the last time the UFC was in town in 2017. But fresh off a fight just weeks earlier, the timing was just not meant to be (despite Länsberg’s ardent campaign on social media showing how fast she was healing).
