Alexander Gustafsson has admitted to having second thoughts about his retirement from MMA earlier this year. Now it’s confirmed it won’t stick. Gustafsson (18-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC) announced he was hanging up his gloves following a submission loss to Anthony Smith at UFC on ESPN+ 11 in June. The disappointing result took place in Stockholm, and the Swede decided to declare his final fight just happened in front of his hometown fans. Since then, however, Gustafsson has expressed a desire to return to the octagon. He’s scheduled for a submission grappling match in December, and that will seemingly serve as a table setter for his return.
