"UFC president Dana White has expressed interest in booking "Rumble" Johnson and Gustafsson -- and Johnson himself has lobbied for it on Twitter -- but until now Gustafsson has been reluctant.
According to a report on UFC Tonight, though, Gustafsson might be warming up to the idea.
Gustafsson's manager Manos Terzitaine told Ariel Helwani that it no longer matters to them if he waits for the winner of Jones-Cormier or fights again beforehand. When presented with that information, Johnson's manager Glenn Robinson said that's the fight they really want. With both sides willing, and White in favor of that matchmaking, it would appear that Gustafsson-Johnson is being looked at.
Robinson said that though they've made it known that they'd accept a bout with Gustafsson that no offer has been officially made."
