For fans of mixed martial arts, this past week has been a slow crawl of steadily rising anticipation for tonight's "Gustafsson vs. Silva" event, going down at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
UFC on FUEL TV 2 will feature a light heavyweight showdown pitting rising star Alexander Gustafsson in one of his toughest tests to date against the returning -- and finally healthy -- Thiago Silva.
In other main card action, Brian Stann battles Alessio Sakara while Dennis Siver makes his featherweight debut against Diego Nunes.
