After it came out that he was pulled against Bader due to his back acting up again, I highly doubt he will be as an effective fighter as he once was. He's only 30 and I was about the same age when my back started to deteriorate, the reality is even in 2017 they cannot fix a bum back, just temporarily relieve the pain until the next time it goes out. IMO we've seen the best of Gustaffson as a fighter, unfortunately the lower back is one of the worst injuries a fighter can sustain as far as limiting longetivity. As a fan I wish the big Swed luck with and hopefully I'm wrong.
