“Well, I’m super excited to be fighting in London. I’ve fought there before and I’m very excited to fight there again with Lil Nog. We were supposed to fight way back and we didn’t. And now I’ve got the chance to fight him again and I’m really looking forward to it. He’s a great standup striker and a really good opponent.”

As announced over the weekend, Alexander Gustafsson will face ‘Lil’ Nog during the UFC’s return trip to London in March, 2014.

Should he win the bout, and if Jon Jones gets past Glover Teixera, the two will rematch for the UFC’s light-heavyweight title.
