Gustafsson and Johnson will face each other at UFC on FOX 14, which will take place on January 24th in Stockholm, Sweden. Opining on the fight, “Rumble” praised his rival. “Of course, he is definitely my toughest fight. Have you ever seen this guy fight? He moves well, punches well and doesn't get hit multiple times. I think the only person who really got to him was Jon Jones sometimes. And we saw the difference between Jon Jones and Alexander after that fight”, commented Johnson, in an interview with the Swedish website “Kimura”, referring to the category champion’s bruised face after facing Gustafsson, in September 2013.
“Don’t get me wrong, Jones is a monster, the best of all time at light heavyweight, but Alexander is also a monster. I'm honored to be in the same category as these two guys”, continued the athlete, who has also played in the welterweight, middleweight and heavyweight divisions.
