UFC light heavyweight top contender Alexander Gustafsson has some heated words to share following the announcement of Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic.
The UFC has officially announced a super fight between UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. The two will throw down at UFC 226, live on pay-per-view. The event will take place July 7 inside the T-Mobile Arena for International Fight Week.
Cormier will be moving up to the heavyweight division to challenge Stipe Miocic for his title.
With that in mind, Alexander Gustafsson is not happy with the news. Taking to Instagram, the top light heavyweight contender stated:
“@dc_mma is fighting stipe?! Well stop run and fight me!
Don’t even think about giving the fight to anyone else!
“I have been quite, had a tough time after my last fight (injury etc.) but I’m next in line and the dc fight is mine!
Come on, let’s have a another dance for the fans! @ufc”
Gustafsson is riding a two fight winning streak at the moment. Most recently, the fighter earned a knockout victory over Glover Teixeira at UFC Fight Night 109.
The top light heavyweight contender first faced off against Daniel Cormier at UFC 192. Cormier earned a split-decision victory over his opponent after the two put on a brutal octagon war.
