Alexander Gustafsson issues warning to Luke Rockhold: ‘Beware’ of moving up to 205

Alexander Gustafsson thinks Luke Rockhold would be making a very big mistake if he moved up in weight.

The perennial UFC light heavyweight contender wrote Tuesday on Instagram that Rockhold should “beware” the 205-pound division and cited Rockhold’s knockout loss to Yoel Romero at UFC 221 last Saturday as evidence.

“If u [sic] think Romero hits hard, then wait till you come to the big boys,” Gustafsson wrote.

@lukerockhold , your teammate is holding MY Division hostage, and you think there are only easy fights at LHW.
