White: Cormier, Gustafsson have fights lined up, not with each other
Dana White: “Cormier’s got another fight set up right now and we actually have another fight for Gustafsson, too. After those two fight these fights, it would make sense.”
With Daniel Cormier losing his last fight to UFC light heavyweight champion and former #1 contender Alexander Gustafsson losing to Anthony Johnson, a fight between the pair would appear to be obvious. However, UFC president Dana White said over the weekend that there are fights lined up for each of them.
Cormier’s got another fight set up right now and we actually have another fight for Gustafsson, too, said White. After those two fight these fights, it would make sense.
There is no word on who Gustafsson and Cormier are fighting next. If you were in Joe Silva’s shoes, who would it be?
