Alexander Gustafsson has announced he’ll be returning to the Octagon soon, and that he’ll do so, armed with a new contract.

Recently the perennial, light-heavyweight contender posted the image and comments below. The 31 year-old Gustafsson (18-4) hasn’t fought since May, 2017, when he stopped Glover Teixeira in the fifth round.

While others are talking about retirement, I just signed my new deal with the @ufc today. I am grateful, excited, and I will be fighting very soon! I need to thank my family, my team @wesportagency and @allstarsgymsweden . I would also like to give a special thank you to my fight management @neems01 and @majdishammas at Moments Sports Management for securing the biggest deal of my career. Soon to be the world champion!!! 🏆🥇#soontobeworldchamp #team #loyalty #family
