Gallery Anthony Smith def. Alexander Gustafsson at UFC on ESPN+ 11: Best photos On two occasions, three-time UFC title challenger Alexander Gustafsson called his decision to retire final. On the third, he said it was “pretty much a done deal.” Whether or not that opens a window to change his mind, Gustafsson (18-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC) is grappling with a submission loss to Anthony Smith (32-14 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and can’t see any reason to continue. “I feel deep inside that I’ve been training hard,” he told reporters at the post-event press conference for UFC on ESPN+ 11, which took place at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden.
