This news comes hours after Gustafsson accepted Corey Anderson’s fight challenge.
Gustafsson 32, is coming off a third-round TKO loss from the hands of Jon Jones, who captured a vacated light heavyweight title in the main headline of UFC 232 last December. ‘Mauler’ last won back in 2017 where he scored a knockout win over Glover Teixeira. Stockholm native will try to rebound when he meets Smith.
Meanwhile, Smith fought last weekend in the main header of UFC 235 where he lost a bid to capture the title when Jones dissected him to earn a unanimous decision win. Prior to that setback, ‘Lionheart’ earned consecutive three stoppage victories over the likes of Rashad Evans, Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua and Volkan Oezdemir.
Who do you think will come out on top when Smith and Gustafsson will clash?
