Earlier today (Sat. June 1, 2019) UFC Stockholm took place from the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.

Attendance was a sell out at 14,319, with a gate of $2,000,000. There were also some well-deserved bonuses handed out as well. On the ESPN 2 preliminary card, Leonardo Santos pulled off a hellacious knockout win over Stevie Ray in the first round. Santos will be taking home an extra $50,000 Performance Of The Night Bonus.

Next up, Makwan Amirkhani made a thunderous return to the Octagon after a lengthy layoff. He submitted Chris Fishgold in the second round of their classic featherweight bout on the main card. He’ll take home $50,000 for a Performance Of The Night bonus as well.

Another ridiculous knockout occurred in the co-main event, when Aleksandar Rakic put his name on the map with a 42-second head kick knockout win over Jimi Manuwa. A $50,000 Performance Of The Night bonus is also heading Rakic’s way. And finally, in the main event, Anthony “Lionheart” Smith shocked a lot of fans when he submitted Alexander Gustafsson in the UFC Stockholm main event.

Smith locked in a rear-naked choke on the Swede in the fourth round, forcing him to tap. “Lionheart” also leaves with $50,000 in the form of a Performance Of The Night bonus.

Multi-time UFC light heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson might have just retired.

The longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) star was defeated in front of his native crowd earlier today (Sat. June 1, 2019) in the main event of UFC Stockholm. “The Mauler” was submitted in the fourth round by Anthony “Lionheart” Smith by way of rear-naked choke. Gustafsson took off his gloves after the fight.

He told fans, “The show is over, guys,” before laying his gloves down on the canvas and walking away. No definitive retirement comment has come as of this writing, but the symbolic gesture of leaving one’s gloves in the Octagon is oftentimes used to signal retirement:

We’ll keep you updated, as Gustafsson is expected to speak at the UFC Stockholm post-fight press conference. Prior to his defeat tonight, Gustafsson was defeated by Jon Jones in their December rematch for the vacant 205-pound championship. Gustafsson has long been recognized as one of the best light heavyweights of all time.

However, when it came to championship opportunities against the likes of Jones and Daniel Cormier, the Swede was unable to get over the hurdle. Now losing to the rising Smith, who also came in off a title shot loss to Jones, Gustafsson might have just decided to call it a career.
