Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson trains hard for his return to the ring.
On August 4, the plan was that he would meet Volkan Özdemir in UFC 227, which is being held in Los Angeles, USA. The Swiss is ranked three in light weight – a place after Gustafsson. However, the match was settled when Özdemir was injured. Gustafsson claimed to be looking for a new opponent – but now the "Mauler" has been forced to fold.
– He suffered a minor injury. It happened last week. Since then, we have worked hard with UFC doctors, our doctors in Sweden and the experts at the UFC Performance Institute. We have been informed that Alex has a minor injury and that he will not fight at UFC 227, said Gustafsson's manager, Nima Safapour, on the MMA Fighting website.
– Alex will be competing again very soon. He will soon say his version. We do not care who he can meet.
"The Mauler" injured
Gustafsson's long-term plan is a revamping match against Daniel Cormier – the heavyweight champion who beat Sweden in a match in 2015. But Cormier is not impressed by Gustafsson's last message.
Cormier suggests that Gustafsson fought a wound to avoid meeting the contender Anthony Smith.
"When you see that Anthony worked as an animal, you decide that you are hurt.I have always respected you as an opponent.I will always be grateful for the match of October 2015, but we will not see each other again in October You're so blown up, I can not stand people with misunderstandings Good luck with recovery … Our time is up, "writes Cormier on Twitter
