Alexander Gustafsson’s heavyweight debut at UFC on ESPN 14 didn’t quite go as planned, as the former UFC light heavyweight title challenger was submitted by heavyweight veteran Fabricio Werdum in the first round.
Gustafsson, who came out of retirement to try his luck at heavyweight, released the following statement on social media.
It’s sucks to lose but I’m alive and healthy it’s a sport, a sport that I love! Thanks Werdum for a great fight and the @ufc for the opportunity! Now let’s celebrate my brother and teammate kamza borz!
