When Daniel Cormier decided to jump up to heavyweight to fight Stipe Miocic this July at UFC 226, Alexander Gustafsson all of a sudden lost a would-be opponent. Now that he could potentially be matched up against two of his friends, “The Mauler” is also considering a jump up in weight class.
“I can move up to heavyweight, in the light heavyweight division we have Jon Jones coming back, [Daniel Cormier] who maybe is coming back or maybe not. We’ll see how it all plays out,” Gustafsson told Viaplay Fight Week (transcript by MMA NYTT).
