UFC 192's Alexander Gustafsson on his 'new chapter' in MMA: I'm going to take that belt from Daniel Cormier

"The Mauler" wants to make good on his second attempt at UFC's 205-pound title with a statement win over champion Daniel Cormier.

It's 2 p.m. in the Koreatown section of New York City and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson is starving, anxiously awaiting for his protein-packed salad to arrive. A cameraman fixates on the Swedish powerhouse who is scheduled to face 205-pound champion Daniel Cormier in three days at UFC 192 in Houston, Texas.

"I've done my homework. I'm not afraid of his wrestling," Gustafsson tells reporters on the other side of the speakerphone during the UFC 192 media conference call.
