Upon reading numerous reports on August 30, 2008, that the UFC was seeking new countries to expand into, I (American that recently moved to Stockholm) created mmaViking.com on August 31, 2008 to provide MMA fans outside of Sweden and Dana, Lorenzo, and other UFC decision makers information in ENGLISH about the Sweden market, it’s talented fighters, and the mma scene.
Please use the resources here to get additional information from many other Swedish organizations that have been supporting the local MMA Scandanavian scene that know a lot more about the history of MMA in Sweden, it’s culture, and how cold it really gets in the winter. I hope you find this introduction helpful, and we look forward to seeing the UFC in Sweden.
If you would like to help with this campaign, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Cheers,
Ryan
