Flawless effort in UFC debut
Gustafsson defeated Khaos Williams via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26, 30-26) at UFC 316 on Saturday in Newark, New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Making his official UFC debut after having his scheduled fight against Trevin Giles last week cancelled, Gustafsson put forth a dominating performance. Andreas is the least technical fighter you will ever see, as he openly admits, but boy is he tough and aggressive. He simply continued to push forward in an attempt to break Khaos' will. In the end, he landed 8-of-14 takedown attempts for 9:34 worth of control time. It's fair to wonder how this strategy will work over the long term, especially when you combine it with the fact Gustafsson is already 34 years old, but it was plenty effective this evening.

UFC debut booked on short notice
Gustafsson will take on Khaos Williams in a welterweight bout at UFC 316 on June 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Gustafsson had his three previous UFC bouts cancelled, preventing him from making his debut with the promotion. Finally, however, the cards fell his way, as his opponent Williams needed a new fighter on extremely short notice and Gustafsson was more than happy to step in. Williams is significantly more experienced, as he boasts a 6-3 UFC record.

Opponent injured
Gustafsson will not fight Trevin Giles at UFC Vegas 107 on Saturday, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gustafsson was scheduled to make his UFC debut Saturday against Jeremiah Wells. He withdrew and was replaced by Trevin Giles. Just a day before Gustafsson's promotional debut, it was announced that Giles suffered an injury, canceling their bout altogether.

New opponent at catchweight
Gustafsson is scheduled to compete against Trevin Giles in a catchweight fight at UFC Vegas 107 on Saturday, according to the UFC.
ANALYSIS
Jeremiah Wells was initially Gustafsson's opponent for UFC Vegas 107. Though both the latter and Giles are welterweight mainstays, their fight will be at catchweight, as the promotion's announcement indicates. This may be because Giles is a late-notice replacement.

Another shot at UFC debut
Gustafsson (undisclosed) will take on Jeremiah Wells in a welterweight matchup at UFC Vegas 107 on May 31, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Gustafsson earned his contract via Contender Series back in August of 2024, but he had to pull out of his scheduled debut against Preston Parsons the following January due to undisclosed reasons. Now presumably healthy, Gustafsson will take on a fighter in Wells who is 4-2 under the UFC banner but coming off back-to-back losses. Gustafsson stands four inches taller, but the two have nearly identical reach. Staying upright will be key for Gustafsson, as Wells averages over three takedowns per 15 minutes of fight time in the UFC.
