Alexander Gustafsson fires back at Daniel Cormier: You ‘lost’ your way back to the belt

Alexander Gustafsson and Daniel Cormier showed mutual respect both before and after their championship tilt at UFC 192, but there is a new rivalry brewing between the two top light heavyweights.

Things kicked off online when Gustafsson, 31, called out Cormier’s teammate Luke Rockhold in an Instagram post. Cormier, who edged out a split decision win over Gustafsson in 2015, blasted ‘The Mauler’ for calling out a man coming off a loss and mocked the Swede in a series of tweets.

Nice timing Alexander(kick him while he’s down huh).
