Gustafsson, Werdum have differing versions of how an old sparring session went
Photo by Douglas P. DeFelice/Getty Images Alexander Gustafsson is moving to heavyweight for the first time in the UFC, and will meet former champ Fabricio Werdum at UFC on ESPN 14 this weekend on Fight Island. Both men have been rather inactive of late, but apparently they have crossed path in training before. At the event’s press conference today, Gustafsson described an old sparring session that he claims he broke Vai Cavalo’s nose in:
“No he hasn’t broken my nose. I broke his nose.”
Gustafsson then said the incident happened ten years ago, and he gave some more details.
