Svenske Alexander Gustafsson kan möta Daniel Cormier

I en podcast med UFC-kommentator Jon Anik och den tidigare UFC-fightern Kenny Florian sade nuvarande lätta-tungviktsmästaren, Daniel Cormier, att han kan tänka sig ett returmöte med svenska Alexander Gustafsson eller #5 rankade Ovince St-Preux. Genom podcasten sade Cormier följande.

Of course, I’d fight any of these guys. It doesn’t matter. This guy’s on the longest win streak in the division so he was getting the title shot but if this trouble is gonna keep him out of the opportunity, I’ll just go to the next guy. So of course I’d fight Gustafsson and someone told me yesterday that Team Ovince Saint Preux was like, ‘We want a title fight because we’ve got a good winning streak too.’ Whoever is winning gets the title shot, that’s just the way it is. I don’t care who it is.

Cormier uttryckte även att han gärna vill gå match under UFC 220 i Boston som tar plats den 20:e januari, nästa år.

I’ve been waiting for the final go ahead. Obviously this throws a wrench into those plans, when we see what happens to Oezdemir. It’s kind of all fluid right now because we’ve got to see what happens with this guy. Alexander Gustafsson was never gonna be right now anyway, I think he may be dealing with some things. If it has to be him then I guess the fight will be a little bit later in the year, but I’d love to compete in Boston.

Gustafsson gick sin senaste match i Globen under UFC Fight Night: Gustafsson vs. Teixeira. Svensken vann matchen i den femte ronden genom tre precisa ”uppercuts” samt en krok för att avsluta matchen. Vinsten cementerade svenskens tionde seger under UFC-fanan.
