Already scheduled for a headline bout between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Smith, UFC: Stockholm is set to add two more high ranking light heavyweight bouts.

As first reported by ESPN, Sweden’s own Ilir Latifi is slated for a match-up with Volkan Oezdemir while Jimi Manuwa will take on Aleksandar Rakic on June 1st.

Oezdemir (15-4) has lost his last three bouts in the UFC starting with a failed bid to claim the light heavyweight championship from then champion Daniel Cormier. ‘No Time’ would then suffer a third-round submission to Anthony Smith before most recently dropping a split-decision to Dominick Reyes.

Latifi (14-6) will also be looking to bounce back into the win column after losing a unanimous decision at UFC 232 to Corey Anderson in December. ‘The Sledgehammer’ has gone 7-4 during his six-year UFC tenure and holds notable wins over Tyson Pedro and Ovince Saint Preux.

Another fighter looking to snap their recent losing streak will be Jimi Manuwa (17-5) who has lost his last three outings. ‘The Posterboy’ has been one of the UFC’s most exciting 205 lbs fighters since signing with the promotion in 2012 with the Londoner only going to the judges’ scorecards twice in his career.

Rakic (11-1) meanwhile is on an 11-fight winning streak and most recently earned a first-round TKO win over Devin Clark at UFC 231 on December 8th.
