Magnus Cedenblad (born April 10, 1982) is a Swedish mixed martial artist who competes in the middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
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.
He is a former European and Scandinavian Amateur champion in Shootfighting.
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.
On January 5, 2012 it was announced that Cedenblad had signed with the UFC.
Cedenblad made his UFC debut against Francis Carmont on April 14, 2012 at UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Silva. 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.
Cedenblad was expected to face Rafael Natal at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Dodson, but was forced out of the bout with an injury, and was replaced by Sean Spencer.
He was briefly linked to a bout against Robert McDaniel on August 28, 2013 at UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Kampmann 2, but McDaniel's opponent was later changed to be Brad Tavares.
Instead, Cedenblad faced Jared Hamman on August 31, 2013 at UFC 164. 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.
