UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND for TICKETS UFC Fight Night Stockholm: Gunnar Nelson Vs UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND FOR TICKETS UFC Fight Night Stockholm: Gunnar Nelson vs. Rick Story London, UK – Due to unprecedented demand for UFC Fight Night Stockholm presented by Unibet, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today announced it had reconfigured the Globe Arena to allow extra tickets to go on sale with immediate effect. More tickets to the event, which takes place on October 4 and features six Swedish athletes, have been made available online at AXS.com and buyers are urged to act fast to avoid disappointment. Niklas Backstrom, Ilir Latifi, Nico Musoke, Tor Troeng, Akira Corassani, and Magnus Cedenblad are currently in their final preparations for a fight which could make them local heroes. Ilir "The Sledgehammer" Latifi said: "After having heard the intense crowd in Dublin breaking the noise record I’m determined to make the Swedish crowd beat that. I’m especially relying on my fans from Malmo in Sweden. Half the Globe arena will be filled with fans from Malmo and my fight will be the loudest.” In addition to a fantastic local offering, Gunnar Nelson vs. Rick Story will headline the highly anticipated return of the UFC to Stockholm. Icelandic star Gunnar “Gunni” Nelson will make the step up to main event status for the first time in his UFC career as he meets Rick “The Horror” Story fighting out of Arizona, US.

It focuses primarily on the political campaign to ban the sport in the 1990s and the repercussions that campaign had on MMA itself. Furthermore, it examines the censorship of music and video games in the 1990s. The central argument of this work is that the political campaign to ban Mixed Martial Arts was part of a larger political movement to censor violent entertainment.

The entire card will stream live and on-demand on UFCFIGHTPASS.com, the UFC’s digital streaming service, to subscribers in 167 countries and counting.

Nelson said: “To headline a card in Sweden is huge for me. They love my kind of style of fighting and I am of course Scandinavian so we have a good connection. I am honored to fight in Sweden and to headline this card. “Rick Story has fought many of the best fighters. He beat the current champion in Johny Hendricks, he is very experienced and is a very good wrestler. He is a tough opponent and I am happy to be fighting him. Now I will head straight into training. I plan to go to Las Vegas to train with Conor McGregor and to help him prepare for his fight, and then I will most likely go to Sweden from there.” Story said: “Oh man this is a really exciting match up! Stylistically it’s going to be great because Gunnar is a grappler and an attacker, when it comes to fighting you can’t ask for more than someone who comes at you.

    »)»»»)» GENERAL CHURCH PAPER OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS (ccaccccac The Challenge of Brotherhood By D. G. ROSE Relief Representative in Europe ORE than nine thousand Adventists of many nationalities have been for- cibly transplanted or have fled before political and religious persecu- M tion in Europe.- Thousands have fled on foot for hundreds of miles, pulling small wagons filled with things they were able to save from their homes. Others were crowded into cattle cars. All left behind them a bitter trail of woe. Many more than the nine thousand started out, but exhaustion, cold, and starvation greatly reduced their numbers. Day and night, without food and with- out rest, they fled. Pitiful and shocking were the scenes. A large part of the babies starved to death. People of every age succumbed. Husbands had to bury their own wives, and wives their own husbands. The experiences defy description, yet the fate awaiting them in their exile was little better. They were thrust under the cold, forbidding ruins of the destroyed cities of Germany, or into large, overcrowded, wooden barracks, a family to a room. They received only the rations of the average German, which is not enough to sustain life; and, added to this fact, they had no possibility of getting any supplementary food, for they had no friends or relatives in the country. One Adventist mother was sent to a ruined city with her four small chil- dren. They ate all the food they had, and the mother gathered the children around the bare table and prayed for help.
