Alexander Gustafsson put on a show in front of his hometown crowd, finishing Glover Teixeira in the main event at UFC Stockholm on Sunday night.
Gustafsson hit Teixeira with three consecutive uppercuts before landing a looping right hand that sent his opponent to the floor in the fifth round.
Teixeira attempted to take control of the fight early, moving forward and pressuring Gustafsson. However, Gus did well to land quick combinations and circle away from danger multiple times throughout the fight. The uppercut was particularly effective for the Swedish fighter, and Teixeira didn’t appear to adjust to avoid the devastating strike for the duration of the near 25-minute fight.
