A lightweight division attraction has been added to UFC Fight Night Stockholm according to Sherdog as Joel Alvarez is going to be in action against Danilo Belluardo.
Alvarez (15-2-0) is currently winless under the UFC banner, having dropped a fight to Damir Ismagulov via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night Prague. Alvarez has competed seventeen times as a professional MMA fighter and has seen just one of those bouts go the distance. Alvarez has picked up fifteen wins as a professional MMA fighter and fourteen of them have come by way of submission.
Belluardo (12-3-0) is going to be making his UFC debut in this bout and does so on the strength of a six fight winning streak.

Belluardo has suffered three losses as a professional MMA fighter and all of them came by way of KO/TKO.
