Most recently, the Swedish fighter stopped Yusuke Kawaguchi at a Rumble of the Kings event in November.

UFC Nottingham will be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Stefan Struve and Stipe Miocic.

Other main card bouts that have been confirmed for the event include Yves Jabouin vs. Brad Pickett, Dan Hardy vs. Amir Sadollah and Duane “Bang” Ludwig vs. Che Mills.
