UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Silva

This was the first UFC event held in Sweden and was the fastest selling European event in UFC history, selling out in three hours.The crowd was crazy from the start till the end,and when Gustafssons fight started they became nuts,best atmosphere ever in ufc history.At the event we saw two submissions from Pickett and Maguire a weird KO by Stann and and a F***d up KO by Bahadurzada at 42 sec in the first round in his ufc debut.He earned the KO of the night honors.In the main event Gustafsson picked up the win over Silva in a not really good performance from both fighters,i liked only the first round.
Gustafsson now has 5 wins streak moving him up to the title picture.Does he deserve to face the winner of ufc 145 main event or not?What's your thoughts about the ppv and the Swedish Mauler?

Gustafsson's performance wasn't all that great IMO. He won via decision, and he is on a winning streak, but I'd like to see him face off against Cain Velasquez or Frank Mir, or perhaps the loser of the UFC 145 main event before he gets a title shot. I agree that the crowd in Sweden was hot and loud. A great showing for the UFC and it's fanbase. What a great event it turned out to be.

Cain and Mir are too big and strong for him but it would be good to face the loser of the Jones vs Evans fight
