UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will make his first title defence on Saturday, October 3rd when he battles No. 2 contender Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson in the main event of UFC 192 in Houston, Texas. Former United States Olympian Cormier struck UFC gold in May, when he submitted Anthony Johnson to win the vacant 205-pound world title. Now he will meet Sweden’s Gustafsson, a former title challenger who nearly lifted the crown from Jon Jones in their 2013 classic.
Although UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (16-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) believes Alexander Gustafsson (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) is a “head-scratcher” of an opponent and would prefer “Bones” Jones, he is feeling extremely confident that he’ll defend his title when they meet in the octagon.
“Being the way that he lost to Anthony (Johnson) kind of made it surprising that I was fighting him,” said Cormier. “But for me, if there was a guy, I’d prefer it be a guy who just experienced what he did in the octagon last time he was there, because not only did he get destroyed, he publicly said he was thinking about stopping fighting and pursuing something different.”
Cormier is referring to interviews Gustafsson gave in the wake of his January loss to Johnson, a title eliminator that cleared “Rumble” for a title shot against then-champ Jon Jones at UFC 187. Gustafsson, who hasn’t fought since the loss to Johnson, said an outpouring of positive fan support and encouragement led him away from retirement thoughts and inspired him to continue on with his career. While Cormier doesn’t necessarily think his mental edge will make Gustafsson any less of a physical threat in the UFC’s octagon, he thinks it’s an intangible that will ultimately become apparent when they fight.
What will happen at UFC 192? Questions will become answers.
