Confident Alexander Gustafsson on return to light heavyweight: ”It’s my division”

On Saturday Alexander Gustafsson is making his return to the octagon to face No. 11 ranked Nikita Krylov. On the UFC media day, the former title challenger was confident when talking about returning to the light heavyweight division again.

”It’s mine, my division. Feels good to be back, My body feels good. That’s it, it’s my division,” Gustafsson said.

The ”Mauler” feels that his career is getting a bit of a restart with the move back down to light heavyweight, event though he felt strong as a heavyweight.

”A little bit because it’s been a while. But I’m just going to continue to beat people up, that’s what we do. I’m really happy to be back,” Gustafsson said. ”The heavyweight division was a good experience for me, even though I lost the fight, but still a good experience for me. Happy to be back in light heavy to perform, to get the W back.”
