In the Cage – Jung Returns In Stockholm, CWFC 71 Headliner, UFN Maine Weigh-Ins Set

Each day, The MMA Corner will provide a recap of results, event announcements, fight match-ups, and injuries/cancellations from throughout the world of MMA.

Chan Sung Jung will return after being out of action for over a year, and he finally knows his comeback assignment. After losing to UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo at UFC 163 last year, Jung will serve as part of the co-headliner for UFC Fight Night Sweden on Oct. 4. The opposition for Jung comes in the form of TUF 14 cast member Akira Corassani, who comes back home after a second-round TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at the TUF Nations Finale earlier this year.

Cage Warriors recently relocated its Aug. 22 show from Stockholm to Amman, Jordan, and now the event will carry a middleweight title bout with champion Jack Hermansson headlining against Deyan Topalski. This bout marks Hermansson’s first defense of the belt since submitting Norman Paraisy to clinch the then-vacant title in June. Topalski owns a three-fight winning streak and makes his CWFC debut when he faces the middleweight champion.

UFC Fight Night 47’s weigh-ins are set for the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, ME next Friday. The venue will also host the UFC Fight Night 47 card next Saturday, which will mark the UFC’s debut in the state of Maine. As per the norm with a number of “UFC Fight Night” cards, no Q&A will take place before the first fighters hit the scale.

With Amir Sadollah replacing Kyle Noke and meeting Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC Fight Night 52, Alexander Yakovlev now meets Nicholas Musoke at UFC Fight Night 53 in Stockholm. Musoke comes to his homeland in search of a win after seeing a seven-fight winning streak snapped by Kelvin Gastelum. Yakovlev faced a tough outing against Demian Maia at The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale and dropped his debut to the onetime UFC middleweight title contender.
