The UFC may be coming to Sweden in 2011, as a report from MMANytt.se states that the organization is targeting a November 5 date in the country.
Per the report, no locations is yet set for the event, but the UFC is targeting both Malmo and Stockholm, with interest from venues in both cities.
Also according to the report, Sweden has the third biggest fanbase for the UFC in Europe, with only those fans in the U.K. and Germany attending more events. This would mark the UFC's very first event in Sweden.
Penick's Analysis: If Sweden is the third biggest fanbase in Europe then their entrance into the country makes sense as their next stop in Europe. As they continue to expand, they'll eventually attempt to run in most countries around the world. Hitting up Sweden was likely always in the plans, and that will now likely come before this year is out.
