Alexander Gustafsson responds to chinny Luke Rockhold

Get the Full StoryThe back-and-forth between Alexander Gustafsson and Luke Rockhold continues. It seems that Alexander Gustafsson and Luke Rockhold really want a piece of each other based on their interactions over the last month. It first started with Gustafsson s dissatisfaction at 205-pound champion Daniel Cormier going up to heavyweight to fight Stipe Miocic, believing that he was holding up the division. He offered to keep warm by knocking out Cormier s teammate Rockhold instead, since Rockhold wants to move up to light heavyweight.

A few weeks later, Rockhold responded, saying he s coming for that ass.

Today, Gustafsson took to Twitter to share his thoughts on that:

LukeRockhold . Heard u coming for me.. Can t ask for more .chinny as middle weight. KO d as a LHW. Fool yourself to believe its the weight cut. I ll wait for u!! Alexander Gustafsson AlexTheMauler March 9, 2018

Former middleweight champion Rockhold 16-4, 6-3 UFC is coming off a UFC 221 knockout loss to Yoel Romero, and has stated that the cut to 185 has become too hard on him. A debut at 205 against Gustafsson makes a lot of sense, since champion Cormier is occupied for a while anyway. Gustafsson 18-4, 10-4 UFC is coming off a fifth-round knockout win over Glover Teixeira last May.
