“It motivates me to win and train harder” says the light heavyweight about performing under the intense pressure of fighting in Sweden again. “It’s the fight I need right now” says the 30-year old about facing the 37-year old Brazilian. “He hits hard and has been in the game a long time.”

“If I can get the finish, I will take it.”

“I hope I get a third chance at the title” says Gustafsson that hopes this fight is a way to the belt. The Allstars Training Center fighter is looking to win his second consecutive bout after last September’s decision win over Jan Blachowicz.
