The UFC made its third venture to Sweden in as many years on Saturday with UFC Fight Night 53 at Stockholm’s Ericsson Globe.

A legitimate upset unfolded in the welterweight main event as hefty 3-1 underdog Rick Story (18-8 MMA, 11-6 UFC) put a clinic on the previously undefeated Gunnar Nelson (13-1-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) to emerge victorious in his first UFC main event.

Despite the fact the judges deemed the contest a split decision, it was clear Story was superior, and he ultimately walked away with a well-deserved victory.

UFC Fight Night 53 saw every fight go one of two ways: a first-round knockout or a decision. For more on the numbers behind the organization’s 10th UFC Fight Pass event, here are 41 post-fight facts to come out of the first half of the UFC’s weekend doubleheader.
