Alexander Gustafsson is accusing Daniel Cormier of avoiding a rematch between the two, following the news that the latter will fight Stipe Miocic on July 7th.

Recently the MMA world was delivered a jolt, by the announcement that Cormier will challenge the heavyweight champ at UFC 226. The news came as a shock to many, since Cormier had said he didn’t plan to move up to heavyweight, since his teammate Cain Velasquez is preparing to return to the division.

Further, the expectation had been the the #1 contender at 205, Gustafsson, would face Cormier next. The two also fought in 2015 and Cormier eked by with a split decision win.

More recently, the Swedish star Gustafsson, posted the comments below:

@dc_mma is fighting stipe?! Well stop run and fight me! Don’t even think about giving the fight to anyone else! I have been quite, had a tough time after my last fight (injury etc.) but I’m next in line and the dc fight is mine! Come on, let’s have a another dance for the fans! @ufc
