    Alex Gustafsson will co-main. He supposedly turned down a 5-round main event slot.

    Ryan Bader vs. Ilir Latifi also on the card.

    I think he should be angling more towards an opponent like Nikita Krylov. Top-15 ranked but not a killer.

    Gusto's lost three of four. High level competition, sure, but still.

    Gusto arguably beat Jones and Cormier. Granted, I think he beat Jones but the decisions say otherwise, I don't think he should be taking a step back in competition. I think he starches OSP rather convincingly. His loss to Rumble is his only clear cut loss, IMO.
