DaMarques Johnson vs. John Maguire at UFC on Fuel TV 2 in Sweden
The UFC's first trip to Sweden has its first matchup.
Sources close to the event today confirmed to MMAjunkie.com that welterweights DaMarques Johnson (15-9 MMA, 4-3 UFC) and John Maguire (17-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) are set to meet at UFC on FUEL TV 2. Heavy.com first reported the bout.
Although not officially announced, UFC on FUEL TV 2 takes place April 14 at Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
FUEL TV officials expect the bulk of the preliminary and main cards to air live on the FOX-owned cable station. It's unknown whether Johnson vs. Maguire is set for the preliminary or main card of UFC on FUEL TV 2.
The spring event marks the fourth international card on the UFC's schedule in 2012. The promotion is set to visit Brazil (UFC 142), Japan (UFC144) and Canada (UFC 145) prior to Sweden.
Johnson is riding high once again following a first-round knockout of Clay Harvison in his most recent appearance at UFC on FOX 1. It's been an up-and-down road for the veteran of "The Ultimate Fighter 9," though, with a win over Mike Guymon sandwiched between Losses to Matt Riddle and Amir Sadollah in his past four outings.
Maguire takes a big step up in competition after a successful octagon debut at UFC 138. The U.K. native outpointed Justin Edwards on the preliminary card of that event, which brought his current win streak to six fights.
