UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Silva (also known as UFC on Fuel TV 2 or UFC Sweden) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on April 14, 2012 at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.

This will be the first UFC event held in Sweden, and is the fastest selling European event in UFC history, selling out in three hours.
A rematch between Ross Pearson and Dennis Siver at featherweight was briefly linked to this event. However, Siver is now expected to face Diego Nunes.
Mike Goldberg is slated to do play by play for this event in place of Jon Anik due to scheduling issues.
