What are you going to do this Memorial Day weekend, besides hopefully enjoy a day off on Monday? The obvious answer is to spend the day honoring the fallen members of our nation’s military, as you should. But before that, you can spend your weekend watching yet another UFC Fight Night card.
The UFC was merciful to us on the East Coast of the United States and decided to air UFC Fight Night 109 at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, May 28. Much of this has to do with the card taking place in Stockholm, Sweden, of course. This particular card boasts a main event of Sweden’s favorite son, Alexander Gustafsson, against Brazil’s Glover Teixeira in a pivotal light heavyweight division match-up.

After being forced to cancel the 2020 festival due to lockdown, the country s largest literary festival is staging a massive comeback, with around 170 events planned across six days in May.
Marquee events include Nobel Prize for Literature winner Kazuo Ishiguro and activist Ai Weiwei beaming into the Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre in one of the many ways the festival has been forced to adapt in the pandemic era.

Matt Brown will fight Dhiego Lima at a yet-to-be-announced UFC Fight Night event on June 19, multiple people with knowledge of the booking told MMA Fighting on Monday.
The UFC has yet to officially unveil the event’s location and its broadcasting details.
“The Immortal” (22-18) will attempt to rebound from consecutive defeats to Miguel Baeza and Carlos Condit, snapping a two-fight finishing streak over Ben Saunders and Diego Sanchez.
Brown recently responded to a callout from one-time UFC welterweight title challenger Dan Hardy, but the bout apparently failed to materialize. Hardy has been inactive since the diagnosis of a potentially serious heart condition that cancelled a bout with Brown at UFC on FOX 7 in 2013.
The challenge was to create an exhibit that would satisfy both hardcore comic fans and those who only know the Marvel Universe through its blockbuster films.
