UFC SWEDEN CARD UPDATES INCLUDING TONYA EVINGER VS. LINA LANSBERG

Posted July 19, 2019

The Octagon Yields to Sweden to Get UFC Fight Night 152, Occurring June 1 in Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden.

Several new bouts have been added into the card, and they are given below.
Christos Giagos vs. Damir Hadzovic, Fight Night 152
Lightweights Christos Giagos and Damir Hadzovic are set to battle UFC Fight Night 152. MMANytt.com broke the news. Giagos (16-7) is 2-3 at the UFC over two stints in the promotion and is coming from a decision win over Mizuto Hirota. Hadzovic (13-4) is 3-2 in the UFC and is coming from a KO win over Marco Polo Reyes with a decision win over Nick Hein before that. Both guys are middle-of-the-pack lightweights, but Hadzovic looks a large more polished and should be favored here.
Daniel Teymur vs. Sung Bin Jo, UFC Fight Night 152
Featherweights Daniel Teymur and Sung Bin Jo will battle UFC Fight Night 152. Teymur (6-3) is the lower of the two Temyur brothers since he has fought en route to a very bad 0-3 record from the UFC which includes back-end submission declines to Julio Arce and Chris Fishgold. There’s no doubt he will be battling for his UFC job in this bout. Jo (9-0) is making his UFC debut after moving unbeaten with nine straight finishes on the South Korean regional scene. One knock against Jo is that he has only fought since 2017, but his album is quite impressive. I would not be shocked if Teymur managed to receive his first UFC triumph, but based on Jo’s masterful album on the regional arena he must most likely be favored here.
Stevie Ray vs. Leonardo Santos, UFC Fight Night 152
An intriguing lightweight connection between Stevie Ray and Leonardo Santos is also set for UFC Fight Night 152. Ray (22-8) is 6-3 at the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Jessin Ayari that snapped a two-fight losing skid. There were lots of high hopes surrounding the Scot when he originally arrived at the UFC, but overall he has been disappointing inside the Octagon and that he has not finished a struggle since 2015. Santos (16-3-1) won TUF Brazil and overall has an extremely impressive 5-0-1 record within the Octagon that comprises a KO win over Kevin Lee. But, Santos has become 39-years-old and hasn’t fought since late 2016, when he chose over Adriano Martins. He hasn’t lost a fight since 2009 and is riding a 11-fight unbeaten streak, but the three-year layoff is obviously not a good sign heading into this particular bout. Nevertheless, I think you have to favor Santos just because of how great his album has been over the last decade against an inconsistent competition in the form of Ray.
Tonya Evinger vs. Lina Lansberg, UFC Fight Night 152
Also added to UFC Fight Night 152 is a women’s bantamweight bout between Tonya Evinger and Lina Lansberg. Evinger (19-7, 1 NC) is 0-2 in the UFC with back-to-back knockout losses to Cris Cyborg and Aspen Ladd. The prior Invcita champ has been very disappointing in the UFC thus much but has fought really hard competition and this should be a more winnable struggle for her. Lansberg (8-4) is 2-3 at the UFC and is coming off of a decision loss to Yana Kunitskaya. She has shown toughness from the Octagon, but that is about it. Both are older fighters for the division but awarded Evinger’s experience I expect her to be a tiny favorite here.
