Filed under: News , UFC , Videos “The Mauler” returns in less than two weeks hoping to get back to title form. That’s where he was three years ago with one of the biggest wins of his career. Alexander Gustafsson (17-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) headlined UFC Fight Night 37 against Jimi Manuwa in March 2014. He was fighting for the first time since his “Fight of the Night” and “Fight of the Year” title loss to then-light heavyweight champion Jon Jones at UFC 165 and was hoping to get back to title contention. The big Swede did just that with a double bonus-winning knockout of Manuwa thanks to a perfectly placed knee to the chin and a follow-up mauling on the ground. Gustafsson eventually got back to a title fight against champ Daniel Cormier, but dropped a split decision in October 2015
