Daniel Cormier Blasts Alexander Gustafsson on Twitter over Luke Rockhold Comments

Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight ruler Daniel Cormier has fired back at Alexander Gustafsson in relation to comments the Swede made towards Luke Rockhold.

Rockhold earlier this week talked about competing at light heavyweight now that Cormier is moving up to heavyweight to challenge Stipe Miocic for the title. Rockhold was also quoted saying there are “easier fights” in the light heavyweight division.

Gustafsson took exception to those comments and posted the following on his Instagram account:

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