Taisumov would be looking for his fifth consecutive victory in the organization. In total, he has five wins and one loss in the UFC, having faced two Brazilians: he was overcome by Michel Trator and knocked out Alan Nuguette.
Neto, in turn, won the two fights he had in the UFC. His debut was in September 2015, with a points victory over the Argentine Nazareno Malegarie. The second fight was in June last year, when he needed just 34 seconds to knock out Andrew Holbrook. A participant in TUF Brasil 4, he has a 100% success record, with nine wins.
The main fight of UFC Stockholm will be between light heavyweights Alexander Gustafson e Glover Teixeira, who measure forces with an eye on the position of challenger in the category. The bantamweight Peter Munhoz is also guaranteed on the show: he faces the Polish Damian Stasiak.
