Alexander Gustafsson vs. James Te Huna slotted for UFC 127
A light-heavyweight bout between New Zealand fighter James Te Huna (12-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Swedish competitor Alexander Gustafsson (10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) will be part of February's UFC 127 event.
MMAjunkie.com today confirmed the matchup. "Fighters Only" first reported the fight.
Although not officially announced by the organization, UFC 127 is expected to take place Feb. 27 at Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia.
The event airs live on pay-per-view, though Te Huna vs. Gustafsson likely will be part of the untelevised preliminary card.
Te Huna has fought exclusively in Australia, where he won the 2009 Cage Fighting Championships light-heavyweight grand prix, which included a knockout of former UFC fighter Anthony Perosh in the finale. That led to Te Huna's own UFC contract and a TKO victory over Igor Pokrajac at UFC 110, the UFC's first trip to Australia. He's been on the sidelines since that February win.
After posting a perfect 8-0 record with seven stoppage wins, Gustafsson signed with the UFC and knocked out Jared Hamman in his promotional debut at UFC 105 a year ago. However, he then suffered a submission loss to top prospect Phil Davis but rebounded in October with a submission win over Cyrille Diabate at UFC 120.
The latest UFC 127 card now includes:
* Jon Fitch vs. B.J. Penn* * Dennis Siver vs. George Sotiropoulos* * Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera* * Carlos Condit vs. Chris Lytle* * Spencer Fisher vs. Ross Pearson* * Chris Camozzi vs. Kyle Noke* * Alexander Gustafsson vs. James Te Huna*
* - Not officially announced
