The atmosphere heated up at the official UFC Stockholm weigh-in, an event that takes place this Sunday morning (28), in the capital of Sweden. In the last appointment before the show, the Brazilian Joaquim Neto BJJ and the Iranian based in Sweden Reza Madadi almost started the duel a day in advance.
After breaking the lightweight division limit, Madadi went after the Brazilian, who was not intimidated and even punched his rival in the chest. Security guards had to intervene and prevent an even bigger mess (watch the video below).

Main fight
The hot atmosphere between Neto and Madadi was the counterpoint to the main fight of UFC Stockholm. The Brazilian Glover Teixeira and the Swedish Alexander Gustafson they confirmed the duel on the scales and had a calm view, with respect on both sides. The two looked at each other fixedly, but with a calm expression, in their gaze. After the photos, the fighters exchanged a friendly handshake.
