Anthony Smith has a tough test ahead of him in Alexander Gustafsson.

However, he still has some business to settle with ex-UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold. Rockhold spoke ill of “Lionheart” late last year, sparking an angry reaction from Smith, who said he’d fight Rockhold in a Wal-Mart parking lot if need be. Now that Rockhold has moved up to 205 pounds, that fight has become more likely than ever.

Speaking at the UFC Seasonal Press Conference today (Fri. April 12, 2019), Smith doubled down on his comments, vowing to “drill a hole” through Rockhold’s face:

“Yeah, that guys is a f*cking piece of sh*t. F*ck Luke Rockhold. The first opportunity I get, I’m going to drill a hole through Luke Rockhold’s f*cking face, I promise you guys that.”

“The first opportunity I get after this fight, doesn’t matter what happens, I’ll fight Luke Rockhold with one f*cking leg. I’m gonna beat that dude’s f*cking a**.”

Before that can happen, Smith will have to face three-time 205-pound title challenger Alexander Gustafsson. They’ll headline UFC Stockholm on June 1. Rockhold makes his light heavyweight debut against Jan Blachowicz at the stacked UFC 239 pay-per-view (PPV) card in July.

Alexander Gustafsson believes that his upcoming fight against former title contender Anthony Smith will be a real challenge. They are slated to meet in the headliner of the UFC on ESPN+ 10 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.

While speaking with MMAFighting, the title contender admitted that this will be a real challenge and if he loses to Smith then he’ll have to reconsider his career.

“He’s a big hitter and he has a lot of heart and he has a lot of fights behind him,” Gustafsson said Monday on The MMA Hour. “He’s a guy with a good team behind him, and this is going to be a real challenge. And that’s why I’m doing this, to challenge myself. When I beat him, I’m going to just move in the rankings. If I don’t beat him, if he beats me, then maybe I don’t have it anymore. So I’ll just take it from there.”

UFC on ESPN+ 10 is set to take place on on June 1, 2019 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. The main card will air on ESPN +. The preliminary card will air ESPN +.
