SVT is reporting that Gustafsson suffered a cut in training:

According to reports given to SVT Sport, Gustafsson has opened a gash in his eyebrow while sparring, making his appearance highly uncertain.

MMANytt confirmed the injury with Gus's camp:

According to a trusted source of MMANytt the news of Gustafsson's injury is true. Now it comes down to how deep the cut over the eye is and whether SMMAF are going to license him to fight.

Going to suck if this fight is cancelled. One of the better (free) main events the UFC has put on in recent memory.

Fight has been canceled 100% unless this is some stupid April fools joke

Helwanis twitter says its still on.

MMANYTT.se has reported that Alex himself wants the fight to happen but it's not up to him to decide if the fight is on or not.

I dont care about all that bullshit. All I said was his twitter said the fight was on. I dont have a twitter account. I read it on Facebook.

"Dana White says Alexander Gustafsson vs. Gegard Mousasi is still on for UFC on Fuel 9"

Yeah he´s not a shill anymore, he´s an employee.

Wanderlei Silva:

I am read I don't have any injure and training a lot!!

^^ The next UFC WW champion. Adlan & Adam Haliev will both win the UFC WW belt in the future.

Adlan is being modest about his wrestling. He was training for 2 years with Rustam Chsiev who could be the best grappling-wrestling guy I've ever seen. I mean like maybe the best wrestling for no-gi submission grappling ever and I'm being serious. Adlan holds his own with Rustam on the ground and he won the NAGA world championships last year.

The only way GSP beats this kid is by smothering. I don't think he can hold him down forever though. Adlan's more explosive and is fast than just about anybody GSP has fought. IMO he's above Koshceck & Hughes. Greg Jackson has said he was blown away by how good an athlete Amagov is as well as by his skills & toughness. That alone says a lot. He inferred like this kid is really goin' somewhere.

Mousasi vs. Latifi confirmed

I don't know much about Latifi.

Ilir is getting mollywhopped come saturday.....they sohuld've just canceled this card just like they did with Bones vs Hendo cuz honestly it looks like shit from top to bottom.

I'd rather see a post poned Mousasi vs Gustafsson than this garbage.

Agreed. Lose Lose fight for mousasi but at least hes getting paid along with everyone else, he could've been a bitch and declined like Jones but hopefully they'll remember him getting screwed like this and give him a title shot immediately.

Adlan probably gets KO'd by Chris "The Kiss" Spang on Saturday...

Yeah, not so sure bout that. Spang's good but he's no Matt Serra.

Latifi does have a victory over the extremely tough Tony Lopez, so while the original match-up is FAR superior, I don't think this is match-up is all too bad considering the extremely short notice that was caused to find a replacement.
