Morning Report: Alexander Gustafsson rethinking retirement, interested in fight with Luke Rockhold

Hold your horses, Alexander Gustafsson might not be done after all.

Earlier this year, after suffering a comeback loss to Anthony Smith at UFC Stockholm, Gustafsson officially retired from MMA, saying that he competed in MMA to be the best and he no longer felt that was in him. It was a shocking revelation from the perennial light heavyweight contender and now it might not be the case.

Speaking with MMAViking at his gym, Allstars Training Center, in Stockholm, Gustafsson revealed that he’s in talks with the UFC about coming back and that the feelings he had about retiring went away pretty quickly.
