(She’s a witch! Burn her! BURRRRRRN HERRRRRRRRRRR!!! / Photo via Fight! Magazine) So here’s a weird little tidbit: The UFC’s next women’s bantamweight between Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano was originally supposed to serve as the co-main event for UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Mousasi (April 6th; Stockholm, Sweden), but it was reportedly sunk due to political concerns, and the matchup was moved to the TUF 17 Finale. After Ariel Helwani first mentioned the date-switch, Fighters Only followed up with more details: The fight was pulled because it was felt by Garry Cook, the UFC VP in charge of UK and European operations, that it wasn‘t suited to the Swedish audience. Sweden is a new market and there is still some considerable opposition to the UFC among that infamously liberal and ”Ëœprogressive‘ nation‘s press. Politically it is a very left-wing country and it was only in 2007 that a 1970 ban on professional boxing was lifted. Alexander Gustafsson has spearheaded the charge into what has proven to be an unexpectedly lucrative market for the UFC, but the potential for the national press to dislike or misinterpret a women‘s fight was felt to be too high to risk.
