Chris Camozzi gets a little 'Hot Sauce' lined up for UFC Fight Night 109 in Stockholm


Middleweight Chris Camozzi will no longer have to play the role of bad guy at UFC Fight Night 109.

UFC officials today announced that Swedish middleweight Magnus Cedenblad (14-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) has been forced to withdraw from a planned appearance in his native country against Camozzi (24-12 MMA, 9-9 UFC), and Trevor Smith (14-7 MMA, 4-4 UFC) has agreed to serve as a replacement foe.

The two now meet at UFC Fight Night 109, which takes place May 28 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. The night’s official bout order has yet to be released, but the main card airs on FS1 following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Camozzi, 30, looks to snap a two-fight losing streak after suffering a decision loss to Australian judoka Daniel Kelly at this past November’s UFC Fight Night 101 event and a submission loss to Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Thales Leites at this past August’s UFC Fight Night 92.

“Hot Sauce” Smith had enjoyed a two-fight winning streak after earning decision wins over Joe Gigliotti and Dan Miller but saw that come to an end with a UFC Fight Night 102 decision loss to “The Ultimate Fighter 23” winner Andrew Sanchez in December. He’ll now look to get back to winning ways against Camozzi.

A timetable for Cedenblad’s return wasn’t immediately established.

With the change to the card, UFC Fight Night 109 now includes:

  • Alexander Gustafsson vs. Glover Teixeira
  • Chris Camozzi vs. Trevor Smith
  • Christian Colombo vs. Damian Grabowski
  • Jack Hermansson vs. Alex Nicholson
  • Misha Cirkunov vs. Volkan Oezdemir
  • Joaquim Silva vs. Mairbek Taisumov
