The two men met in one of the 205-pound weight classes greatest fights at UFC 192. The bout would go the distance and it would be Cormier who came out on top with the split decision victory and his first career title defense.<\/p>\n<p>Since the two fought, they haven&#8217;t lost. Cormier has gone 3-0 while Gustafsson 2-0. Cormier just recently defended his title against Volkan Oezdemir at UFC 220 and his longtime friend and teammate, Luke Rockhold just very recently attempted to recapture some gold of his own at UFC 221. However, Rockhold was unable to come away with the win and prior to this fight, he had talked about going up to the 205-pound division. A statement that prompted <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/alexander-gustafsson\/alexander-gustafsson-warns-luke-rockhold-moving\/\">a warning from Gustafsson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Something that Cormier had something to say about on Wednesday:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nice timing Alexander(kick him while he\u2019s down huh).
