Let's increase the value of the next title shot! @alexthemauler and I need to figure out who is the real king of Europe! Alex, I know how great you are and I respect you a lot but I'm going to knock you out! Not because I want to just because I have to! #jonesvsthekingofeurope #notime #newblood #iamdifferent

Gustafsson has yet to reply to the challenge from Oezdemir, but it appears that he has his sights set on a rematch with UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones:

 

@JonnyBones congrats Champ. Stop asking for retired fighters, I've been waiting to put my hands on you and so have all the fans.

While Oezdemir last competed at UFC 214, the last time that Gustafsson last competed in the Octagon came at UFC Fight Night: Stockholm.
