The UFC has announced a pair of matches to take place at UFC Stockholm on Saturday, June 1.
The first to be confirmed is a light heavyweight bout between Volkan Oezdemir and Ilir Latifi. Oezedmir (15-4) will look to end a three-fight losing streak (Daniel Cormier, Anthony Smith, and Dominick Reyes). Latifi, meanwhile, looks to bounce back from a decision loss to Corey Anderson in front of his home crowd.
A bantamweight bout between former Invicta champion and one-time UFC featherweight title challenger Tonya Evinger and Sweden's Lina Lansberg was also announced.
Evinger (19-8, 1 NC) has had a rough start in the UFC, losing to Cris Cyborg by TKO in her debut for the vacant women's featherweight championship back in 2017. She also had a TKO loss to Aspen Ladd in October 2018 in a return to the bantamweight division. Lansberg (8-4) has alternated wins and losses since her UFC debut in September 2016 against Cris Cyborg. She has wins over Lucie Pudilova and Gina Mazany, and losses to Cris Cyborg, Aspen Ladd, and most recently Yana Kunitskaya.
UFC Stockholm will take place at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden, on June 1. While not officially announced, it's expected to be headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Smith.
