Gustafsson vs. Johnson set for UFC on FOX 14 in January
The UFC announced a light heavyweight fight between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Johnson will take place at UFC on FOX 14 on Jan. 24 at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
Gustafsson, who defeated Jimi Manuwa in March with a second-round TKO, moved to 7-1 over his past eight fights, with that loss coming to Jon Jones.
Johnson, who was reinstated with UFC on Nov. 6 after a domestic case was dismissed, last fought in July when he knocked out Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC on FOX 12.
The winner of this fight will face either Jon Jones or Daniel Cormier, who will fight at UFC 182 on Jan. 3.
Hendo to face Mousasi in co-main
Former multi-division PRIDE champion Dan Henderson will try to re-enter the upper echelon of the Middleweight division when he squares off with the impossibly stoic Gegard Mousasi.
Henderson, 47, seemingly has anvils where his fists are supposed to be, and this kind of uncommon power has allowed him to stay relevant despite most of the tread being worn from his tires.
Still, Henderson has lost four of his last five, and could be on his way to retirement should he lose to Mousasi
Mousasi, a former Dream and Strikeforce champion, has posted a 2-2 record since entering the UFC in 2013, notching wins over Mark Munoz and Ilir Latifi, while dropping fights to top-flight middleweights, Lyoto Machida and Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza.
A decisive win over a legend like Henderson could thrust Mousasi into the top-five of the UFC's 185-pound division.
