Cool. Well done Alexander Gustafsson on getting into the UFC.

Alexander Gustafsson is a great guy. I have rolled with him @ Pro Am Fight Gym/Tsunami Gym last month.

What are his strengths?

He's just entered probably the most stacked division in the UFC. He'll need to be something special to make an impact.

Realy tuff division. His main strength would be his agression 5 of his 8 pro mma fights ended in round 1, the rest in round 2.

He's a good striker with good takedown defence, He's a former boxer and I think he's done wrestling also. Never lost a MMA fight and in his pro fights 6 of 8 wins are by KO/TKOs.

Not long ago he won a boxing match against Swedens nr1 heavyweight boxer.

He also won grapplers paradise not so long ago so he's a good grappler

They have done the sensible thing and given Alex a low level UFC guy. Someone he can have a good fight with and stand a good chance of winning. I am sure that as he is still growing and developing he will be a great LHW as long as the UFC do not rush him into the big bouts.

Wonder if he ever struggles to make LHW?

Because thats huge for a 93kg'er.
