With an eye on a new opportunity to fight for the light heavyweight belt, Gustafsson promises that the fight with Johnson will be attractive to the public. “I'm going to be the best Alex ever and I'm going to face probably the best Anthony there ever was. It will be an explosion. It will be an explosive fight. I will win, but it will be a challenge, for sure. I will win, whether in the first round or in the decision. But I want this victory,” he concluded.

UFC on FOX 14 will be held at the Tele2 Arena stadium, which has the capacity to receive 30 fans. Gustafsson challenged for the belt in September last year, but was defeated by Jon Jones in the judges' decision.

Johnson returned to the UFC at the beginning of the year and won victories over Phil Davis e Rogério Minotouro.
