“I’d Knock Him Out” Alexander Gustafsson Ready to Face Jake Paul “I Fought for Belts, Not Fame”

Former multiple-time UFC light heavyweight champion, Alexander Gustafsson has claimed if ever pitted in the ring with controversial puncher, Jake Paul — he would handily knock out the outspoken Ohio upstart, with relative ease, in fact.

Gustafsson, a former title challenger at the light heavyweight limit thrice during his impressive Octagon tenure, most recently fought in combat sports back in 2022.

And calling time on his career off the back of a stoppage loss to Ukrainian finisher, Nikita Krylov, Swede veteran, Gustafsson had since penned a multi-fight deal to fight with the faltering GFL (Global Fight League).
