Several of the UFC's top light heavyweight contenders are in action on Saturday in Stockholm, Sweden, and that includes No. 2-ranked Swede Alexander Gustafsson. He'll be facing recent title challenger Anthony Smith in the main event. This isn't a scrap for the next title shot, as both have recently lost to champion Jon Jones over the past year. The main event and the other battles in the division on Saturday's card are more keep-your-place-in-line fights than anything else.
Here's how you can watch UFC Fight Night 153.Back in December, Gustafsson (18-5) returned from a 19-month layoff to give fans the rematch five years in the making when he challenged Jon Jones for the light heavyweight championship. Unfortunately for Gustafsson, however, there was no room for debate this time around when the rematch reached a conclusion with Jones earning a third-round TKO to win light heavyweight title that had been vacated by former champion Daniel Cormier. With the light heavyweight division considered rather thin at the moment, there's some wiggle room for Gustafsson to work his way back up the ladder, and that journey begins in front of his hometown crowd on Saturday.

After stepping up to the proverbial plate to compete four times in 2018, Smith (31-14) was awarded the next shot at Jones and the 205-pound title this past March in the main event of UFC 235. Smith fared better than Gustafsson, going the distance with the man considered by many to be the greatest of all time in a losing effort that gained him more respect than he already had coming in. That loss is one that's been eating at the veteran, though, and during a recent appearance on 'The MMA Hour,' Smith revealed his plan to violently take out his frustrations on Gustafsson in this weekend's main event.
'To be honest with you, I don't give a f--- what happens in the fight,' Smith said. 'I want to perform and that's it. I want to hit him as many times as I possibly can, I want to punch when I can punch, I want to kick when I can kick, and if he gets too close, I'll drag him to the f---ing ground. And if he gets up, then I'll do it again. That's all I want to do. I want to perform. That's as far as my mind has gone. After that, we'll see what happens because it's not even about Alex, it's about me. This is about wanting to take a break but I can't do it with this burning feeling in my stomach.'
