Alexander Gustafsson tog sig senast an lätt tungviktsmästaren Daniel Cormier, då de möttes vid UFC 192 i Houston. Gustafsson förlorade mötet via ett delat domslut efter fem jämna ronder, och här kan ni läsa vad Alexander hade att säga om matchen och framtiden via gårdagens ”The MMA Hour”:
When you take the step to watch the fight you lost, you need to have some, it takes courage. I need to find that and sit down with my team and watch it and see what I do wrong all the time when it comes to the fifth round.
I’m just number two, and I need to find out what’s the problem. I need to know how to win the fifth round and the fight. I need to sit down with my team to see what we can do about it and what we can learn from it.
I’m just doing some training right now and that’s all I am doing. I don’t think that much about the next opponent or next competition. I probably will soon, but right now I’m just happy doing the kind of training I want to do and not forced to do.
Vem Gustafsson kommer att möta inne i oktagonen härnäst är i dagsläget oklart, men själva vill vi se honom i en match mot Rashad Evans.
