MMA fighter Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson was to go to a heavyweight match against Ben Rothwell on May 21.

But right now the Swede is without resistance.

The surprising news that the American got rid of his UFC contract has not been commented on by Rothwell himself or by his management, writes MMA Fighting.

Gustafsson, who made a comeback in a heavier weight class, lost the heavyweight meeting with Fabricio Werdum in July 2020. It was the 35-year-old's last match.
