Speaking on Instagram on Monday afternoon, three-time UFC light heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson called for a UFC London fight with streaking contender Corey Anderson.<\/p>\n

Both men, to remind, fought at UFC 232, with Gustafsson coming up short to Jon Jones, and Anderson picking up an impressive win over Gustafsson’s training partner Ilir Latifi.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Gustafsson had to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cCorey everyone else at the top is taken, I am eager to get right back inside the cage and you just had a good fight with my brother, so I think it\u2019s the perfect time for us to throw down,\u201d Gustafsson wrote on Instagram. \u201cLet\u2019s dance on the London card March 16th.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Alexander Gustafsson, Corey Anderson is not able to oblige this callout \u2014 but he’s got a great reason. He’ll be welcoming his first child just days before UFC London.<\/p>\n
