Great night of fights in Sweden. A bunch of blue collar, gutsy performances up and down the card. The main event could have been a bust, but it wasn’t. Ilir came out to Rocky music and made it a fight. Mousasi’s speed and jab were just too much though for the big Swede.

UFC on FUEL TV 9: Gustafsson vs. Mousasi
Overview
Tom Lawlor, King of the Weigh-In, has gone 2-4 over his last six fights, and you know what, it doesn’t matter. Weigh-in antics aside, Lawlor is the kind of fighter you love to have fighting on a card. He’s got a mauling, blue-collar style that usually produces interesting results. The exception was probably his last time out against Francis Carmont. The fans booed a few times during the fight as the two cancelled each other out and then slowed down a bit towards the end, but it was still enjoyable watching them fight. Aside from that, in three out of his last seven fights, Lawlor received ‘Submission of the Night’, ‘Fight of the Night’, and ‘Knockout of the Night’ bonuses.
Michael Kuiper vs. Josh Janousek pulled from this Saturday’s UFC on FOX 6 event
Michael Kuiper
Josh Janousek (8-1) has pulled out of his fight with Michael Kuiper (12-1) at this coming Saturday’s ‘UFC on FOX 6: Johnson vs Dodson’ event with an injury. With the event just five days away, a replacement will not be sought.
Janousek was the fourth fighter to pull out against Kuiper over the past few months. Terrible luck for the Dutch fighter but I’m sure he’ll be re-booked for an upcoming event. We shall see.
UFC on FOX 6 change: Josh Janousek replaces injured Buddy Roberts against Michael Kuiper
Josh Janousek
Josh Janousek (8-1) has replaced injured Buddy Roberts (12-3) on the January 26, 2013 ‘UFC on FOX 6: Johnson vs Dodson’ card against fellow middleweight Michael Kuiper (12-1).
Josh Janousek will be fighting in the UFC for the first time in his professional career. Janousek, the JUCO national wrestling champion and a Division II All-American, made his pro debut in 2008 and has only lost since then. Of his 8 wins, five have come by way of ‘knockout by punches’ or ‘submission by punches’. He’s only fought professionally once in the last 2+ years though, with his last fight being on April 15, 2011. That’s beyond ring rust, that’s ring erosion. Still, I watched one of his fights, his first fight incidentally, on YouTube and he’s a beast, so it should be a fun one to watch.
