Description
This was the fourth event that the UFC has held in Sweden and the first to take place in a different arena as the previous events were held at Ericsson Globe Arena. It was also the second stadium venue to host a UFC event after UFC 129, which took place at the Rogers Centre in Canada.

The event was headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Johnson. The UFC subsequently announced that the winner of the main event will receive a title shot against UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Initially, the UFC was preparing a main event between Gustafsson and Rashad Evans. On November 5, Evans announced he would not be ready during that time frame as he was still rehabilitating from a lingering knee injury.

For the event to be broadcast live during Prime time hours on the east coast of North America, the main card began at 2:00 am (January 25) local time in Stockholm (CET), with a full preliminary card beginning at approximately 11:00 pm (January 24) local time.

Yan Cabral was expected to face Mairbek Taisumov at the event. On December 30, Cabral was pulled from the fight for undisclosed reasons and replaced by promotional newcomer Anthony Christodoulou.

Alan Omer was expected to face Mirsad Bektic at the event. On January 12, Omer pulled out of the fight with an undisclosed injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Paul Redmond.

Paul Redmond missed weight on his first attempt at the weigh ins, coming in at 149 pounds. He was given additional time to make the featherweight limit, but made no attempt to cut further. Instead, he was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to Mirsad Bektic.

The event had the richest live gate in the company’s history on the continent at $3.1 million. It also registered the UFC's second biggest attendance in history as 30,000 fans witnessed UFC's first visit to a European stadium.
