Preview! Hardy, Gooden Break Down Gustafsson-Smith

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just a few hours away from its upcoming UFC on ESPN+ 11 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, headlined by the 205-pound showdown between former title contenders, Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Smith.

Check out this stellar “Inside the Octagon” preview from John Gooden and Dan Hardy in advance of today’s (Sat., June 1, 2019) combat sports extravaganza inside Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.

Gustafsson (18-5) and Smith (31-14) are both coming off championship losses to reigning 205-pound kingpin, Jon Jones, at UFC 232 and UFC 235, respectively. No question a victory today keeps one of them afloat in the division title chase and sends the other to the back of the line.
