Så här skriver de om svensken Alexander Gustafsson:
Sweden’s top MMA export didn’t miss the biggest opportunity of his young career: April 14 at UFC on Fuel TV 2, the 25-year-old “Mauler” dominated Thiago Silva for three rounds before a partisan crowd in Stockholm. While it still may be too early for a shot at the UFC title, Gustafsson has undeniably positioned himself near the top of the 205-pound class.
