Gustafsson: It’s easy, just sign the bout agreement
Alexander Gustafsson: “I’m not even thinking about how he thinks or what he does. For me, it’s just, sign that bout agreement. Let’s go.”
Alexander Gustaffson is supposed to fight next in a rematch with Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title. Gustaffson is already training and is committed to the match, but a report earlier this month revealed that Jones is currently negotiating a new contract and bout agreements have not yet been sent out. For his part, Gustaffson is ready to sign on the dotted line:
That’s something you sign every fight, and it’s part of the job, Gustafsson said. You get a fight opportunity, and you agree on it, and then you sign a bout agreement. No less. It’s a very easy thing to do.
I don’t know about any of that (with Jones’ negotiations). For me, the UFC is my job. I can live my dream, so for me, it’s not even a question. But that’s just me.
I would rather fight, of course, in Sweden, which is my backyard, Gustafsson said. But if the fight is not happening there, I would rather it be in Las Vegas.
I’m not even thinking about how he thinks or what he does. For me, it’s just, sign that bout agreement. Let’s go.
