Alexander Gustafsson has big plans for this year and it all starts with his next fight under the UFC banner.
His upcoming fight against former title contender Anthony Smith will be a challenge. They are slated to meet in the headliner of the UFC Stockholm show.
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 Glover Teixeira in 2017.
The title contender is known for being inactive but that will all change in 2019. Gustafsson made it known in a recent interview with Luke Thomas on The MMA Hour on Monday that he’s tired of waiting around. Thus, he wants to fight up towards three times this year.
“I’m just going to go through Anthony Smith, I want to get that W, beat him, and just look for the next challenge basically. And I want it fast, I want the next fight really fast. Just like, stack them up and go through them one by one, and see what the future brings.”
“I don’t know. There’s no guarantees,” Gustafsson said of the possibility of staying busy in 2019. “If I can, that would be perfect. I’m satisfied with three. If I get two—I definitely want more than just this fight, I’m looking for another fight quick and if I get three fights this year I would be really satisfied.”
UFC Stockholm (also known as UFC on ESPN+ 11) is set to take place on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden.

This weekend (Sat. June 1, 2019) a massive light heavyweight bout main events UFC Stockholm.
Former 205-pound title challengers Anthony Smith and Alexander Gustafsson will square off inside the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. Both men come off defeats to division king Jon “Bones” Jones. In his last outing, Smith was defeated by Jones via unanimous decision.
Speaking on “The MMA Hour” earlier today (Tues. May 28, 2019), “Lionheart” claimed he doesn’t “give a f*ck” what happens in the fight. He simply wants to perform (via MMA Fighting):
“To be honest with you, I don’t give a f**k what happens in the fight,” Smith said. “I want to perform and that’s it. I want to hit him as many times as I possibly can, I want to punch when I can punch, I want to kick when I can kick and if he gets to close I’ll drag him to the f**king ground and if he gets up then I’ll do it again. That’s all I want to do. I want to perform.
“That’s as far as my mind has gone. After that, we’ll see what happens because it’s not even about Alex, it’s about me. This is about wanting to take a break but I can’t do it with this burning feeling in my stomach. I have this feeling where I just need to destroy something. So whatever happens in the interim, it doesn’t matter to me. I just need to get this feeling out of my stomach and it’s driving me crazy and it keeps me up at night. I just don’t give a s**t.
“It could be Alex, it could have been 10 other guys in the division. There’s no gameplan. Those last two fights, I think I got a little too intricate with the gameplans and I think it made me think too much. I’m an instinctual fighter and I always have been so I think got away brought me to the dance. I’m a pressure guy that gets in your face and swings hammers.
“I could be a super clean striker that’s really pretty and ‘OOs’ and ‘AHHs’ everybody. But deep down in my heart, that’s not who I am and I think that, I don’t know, maybe I was trying to be something I’m not [against Jones].”
As for Gustafsson, he was defeated by Jones in December. “Bones” finished the Swede in the third round of their title bout. Prior to that, Gustafsson was on a two-fight win streak against Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira. Prior to his defeat to Jones, Smith was on a three-fight win streak over names such as Rashad Evans, Mauricio Rua, and Volkan Oezdemir.
Adding a name like Gustafsson to his list of victories could put “Lionheart” on the fast track back to the title picture.
