The Swedish press reported last Sunday (31) that Alexander Gustafson suffered a cut near his eye during training and should not be able to face Gegard Mousasi at UFC on FUEL 9, an event that takes place next Saturday (06), in Stockholm. However, Dana White, president of the UFC, still believes in the Swede's stay in the fight program.
The director confirmed Gustafsson's injury, but says he has not yet been removed from the fight program. SMMAF, the Swedish MMA Federation, will carry out an examination on Alexander in the coming days to analyze the possibility of granting the fighter a license for the event.
The Swedish MMA Federation didn't say he can't fight, and he wants to fight”, explained Dana White to “MMA Fighting”.
