Magnus Cedenblad (born April 10, 1982) is a retired Swedish mixed martial artist who competed in the middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, among others.
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Cedenblad has said that he took up mixed martial arts because he wanted to learn to kick like Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipović and punch like Javier Garcia Roche.[1]
He is a former European and Scandinavian Amateur champion in Shootfighting.[2]
He started his MMA career on the European circuit in 2007. After losing his first two as a light heavyweight, he dropped down to middleweight and went 10–1 in his next 11 fights, with 6 wins by KO/TKO and 3 by submission, finishing 7 opponents in the first round.[3][4]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
On January 5, 2012, it was announced that Cedenblad had signed with the UFC.[5]
Cedenblad made his UFC debut against Francis Carmont on April 14, 2012, at UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Silva.[6][7] After a good performance in the begin of the fight, winning the first round, he eventually lost via rear naked choke submission in the second round.[8]
Cedenblad was expected to face Rafael Natal at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Dodson,[9] but was forced out of the bout with an injury, and was replaced by Sean Spencer.[10]
He was briefly linked to a bout against Robert McDaniel on August 28, 2013, at UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Kampmann 2,[11] but McDaniel's opponent was later changed to be Brad Tavares.[12]
Instead, Cedenblad faced Jared Hamman on August 31, 2013, at UFC 164.[13] He won the fight by submission due to a guillotine choke 57 seconds into the first round, giving him his first UFC win and serving Hamman the first submission loss of his career.[14]
Cedenbald was expected to face Alessio Sakara on October 26, 2013, at UFC Fight Night 30, replacing an injured Tom Watson.[15] However, Cedenblad himself later had to withdraw from the bout due to an injury, and was replaced by newcomer Nicholas Musoke, one of his main training partners.[16][17]
Next he faced undefeated Krzysztof Jotko on May 31, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 41.[18] After controlling the first round of action, he won the fight by submission due to a guillotine choke in the very last second of round two, serving Jotko the first loss of his career.[19] He was also awarded his first Performance of the Night bonus for his efforts.[20][21]
Cedenblad faced touted undefeated promotional newcomer Scott Askham on October 4, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 53.[22][23] Despite getting caught and dropped by a front kick in round two, Cedenbland controlled the action through the rest of the fight, earning the unanimous decision victory.[24]
Coming back from a one-and-a-half-year layoff due to injuries, Cedenblad faced Garreth McLellan on May 8, 2016, at UFC Fight Night 87.[25] He scored a knockdown from a straight right hand in round 1 and won the fight by TKO early in round 2 after stunning McLellan with a head kick followed by a barrage of uppercuts against the fence.[26]
Cedenblad returned to face Jack Marshman on November 19, 2016, at UFC Fight Night 99.[27] He lost the back and forth fight via TKO in the second round.[28]
Cedenblad was expected to face Chris Camozzi on May 28, 2017, at UFC Fight Night 109.[29] However, Cedenblad was removed from the card on 27 March and replaced by Trevor Smith.[30]
On August 14, 2018, it was announced that Cedenblad announced he retired from the sport due to numerous and continuous injuries.[31]
