Daniel Cormier Says Alexander Gustafsson Doesn’t Deserve to Fight for 205-Pound Interim Title

UFC 226 is now available on Amazon Prime.

It seems the bad blood between current Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and Alexander Gustafsson continues.

Cormier met Gustafsson back in October 2015 at UFC 192 and the pair put on an epic five-round war similar to the fight the Swede gave Jon Jones two years earlier. Judges scored the fight closely, awarding Cormier the win via split decision.

Gustafsson made headlines recently when he said that he believed his next fight at light heavyweight should be for the interim title due to the fact Cormier is moving up (temporarily) to fight heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic.
