Alexander Gustafsson targets a fight with one title contender for an upcoming UFC event. This fight would be against Corey Anderson at a show in London. Gustafsson wants to waste no time in 2019 in order to get his next fight booked and have a quick turnaround.
The title contender took to social media in order to make this call out as he wrote the following on his official Instagram account:
“Corey, everyone else at the top is taken,” Gustafsson posted on Monday, “I am eager to get right back inside the cage, You just had a good fight with my brother. So I think it’s the perfect time for us to throw down. Let’s dance on the London card March 16th.”
#ufclondonAnderson is currently on a three-fight winning streak. In his last two fights, back in July, he picked up a decision win over former title contender Glover Teixeira at UFC Hamburg. Most recently at UFC 232, he beat Ilir Latifi by unanimous decision.
Gustafsson is fresh off a loss to Jon Jones with the vacant UFC light heavyweight title being on the line at UFC 232. He earned this title shot with a stoppage victory over Teixeira in 2017.
