[VIDEO] Alexander Gustafsson and Swedish All-Stars prepare

What do you think of when you think of Sweden? Personally, we think of Ikea, meatballs, Vikings and blondes.

But we should also start associating MMA with Sweden, as the above new documentary, Stories from Stockholm: Swedish Giants shows. This Saturday, the UFC will return to Stockholm for a UFC Fight Night card that will feature four Swedish rising stars.

Swedish Giants chronicles the All Stars camp of Ilir Latifi, Magnus Cedenblad, Tor Troeng and Niklas Backstrom, all of whom fight in their home town Oct. 4. Light heavyweight contender Alexander Gustafsson is also featured heavily in the above short documentary, as he's teammates with all those men, and is still waiting for his title rematch.

This feature is a fun and relaxed look at some fighters and a growing fight scene that Americans don't often get much insight into. Check it out and let us know who you're picking to win, Saturday night.
