Two UFC featherweight stars who are slated to fight at the UFC Stockholm had an interesting staredown. Makwan Amirkhani and Chris Fishgold are those fighters, who will compete on the preliminary portion of this card.
The media for this event is now in full swing as it goes down on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. As seen in the video, the two fighters got into a pushing contest and had to be broken up.
Amirkhani enters this fight with a pro-MMA record of 14-3 and on a one-fight winning streak. In his latest fight, faced Jason Knight at UFC Fight Night 130. This is where Amirkhani won the back-and-forth fight by split decision despite being knocked down twice.
On the flip side, Fishgold comes into this fight with a rear-naked choke win over Daniel Teymur back in February.
