The Octagon returns to Stockholm, Sweden for the 3rd time in as many years, but unlike the first two visits, there won't be a Swede in the main event. Instead, Icelandic welterweight Gunnar Nelson shares center stage with American Rick Story in a five-round fight between two talented men looking to break through to the top 10. Meanwhile, Sweden's Akira Corassani battles short-notice replacement Max Holloway in the co-main event.
