Fighter proposes to girlfriend after vicious KO
A Swedish fighter landed the ultimate combo with a stunning victory in the Octagon followed by a touching marriage proposal.
Alexander Gustafsson put on a show for his hometown crowd during the bout against Glover Teixeira at the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Stockholm.
The Swede stung his Brazilian opponent with a series of brutal shots in the main event fight, including a spinning elbow and several powerful shots to his opponent’s head.
But it was the triple combination of uppercuts, followed by a vicious right hook that eventually floored Texeira in the fifth round.
The Stockholm faithful erupted at their fighter’s dominant showing but the biggest cheers of the night came during a special moment after the fight.
Gustafsson called his girlfriend into the Octagon and after a short embrace, the Swede bent down on one knee.
“I love you and thanks for having my kid, my baby,” Gustafsson told his partner.
“I love you with all my heart and you want to marry me?”
Judging by the look of shocked elation on her face and the warm embrace afterwards, one can only assume she said “yes.”
