Ultimate Fighting Championship gold has thus far eluded Alexander Gustafsson but not for lack of effort. Twice he has tried and failed to procure the light heavyweight crown.
The well-regarded Swede can climb back into title contention when he meets Glover Teixeira in the UFC Fight Night 109 main event this Sunday at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. Gustafsson snapped a two-fight losing streak in his most recent appearance, as he cruised to a three-round unanimous decision over former KSW champion Jan Blachowicz on Sept.
