Akira Corassani should face Robbie Peralta at UFC Sweden 2

The fight between featherweights Akira Corassani (photo) and Robbie Peralta, which would take place in February, is verbally agreed to take place at UFC on FUEL TV 9, which will take place in Sweden, on April 6th. The information is from MMA Junkie, who claims to have received confirmation of the agreement from sources close to the organization of the event.

The duel was scheduled to take place at UFC 156, but an injury took Corassani out of the fight and prevented it from taking place. With the rescheduling, the Swede will now fight at home. His opponent, Robbie Peralta, returns to action after a short hiatus in Ultimate, after his impressive knockout over Jason Young, 23 seconds into the first round, in September last year.

UFC on Fuel TV 9 will take place on April 6 in Stockholm, Sweden. The only fight officially announced for the event is the light heavyweight clash Alexander Gustafson and the Armenian Gegard Mousasi, who makes his debut with the organization. This is the second time that Ultimate arrives in Scandinavia, again with Gustafsson, the home fighter, performing in the main fight of the night.
