    For new fans that are familiar with Jon being in close fights ( Santos, Reyes ), Gus is a legend for putting it on him like he did that night. Jones was absolutely dominating everyone he fought. Might not seem that crazy now, but at the time, it was mind blowing

    This fight is one of my favorites of all time. I really didn't know much of Gus before the fight but I was a fan after this fight. No man has ever brought Jones to the edge like this, nobody at all has been this competitive with him to this point. It showed that Jones had actual heart and really truly could go the distance, and it showed that Gus is 100% one of the baddest men in MMA those elbows he ate were just insane. I genuinely don't understand how someone could be that tough, how did those elbow shots not knock him clean out? I also believe this might be the best showing of all Jones's skills because he definately utilized and needed all of them to actually win. I'm a big Jones fan, but I also question the decision, he may have won that just because the judges liked him as champion and were a little bias. Brilliant fight tho, legendary in my opinion 💯💯

    • @GC_Rallo
      @GC_Rallo Před rokem +27

      The strikes landed, takedowns blocked and takedowns completed were all in favor of Gus. Alot of people think it was that one flurry of elbows that opened Gus up that gave Jones the decision, imo that doesn't make up for the whole rest of the fight which Jones did NOT seem dominant in. All in all, it was close, both of them are absolute warriors, and it's fights like this that give me the very rare feeling that they should've sawed that god damn belt in half and handed each of them a piece.

      He used everything in the first 2 rounds, that's why he "looked" like he won those rounds. If you watch it back, you'll hear the announcers saying he's throwing and landing a lot of shots, but none of the heavy hits.
      He was at half tank by the 4th round, and that elbow basically just finished him.
      The point is, if he would have tried to pace the fight, like Jon, Jon would have eaten him up.

We noticed that Jones landed more kicks and as my Husband stated those are worth more than punches. And that clean spinning elbow stunned him in the 4th round and that sealed the fight for Jones. One of the best fights I've ever seen. And Jones and Gustafsson couldn't even make the post fight press conference 'cause both of them were at the hospital. My, LORD!!!

    If im being honest Alex won this fight, and Reyes as well. Coming from a Jon Jones fan too, (l like Alex as well though) I really think Alex won. For a majority of the fight I would argue the first 3 rounds maybe even the 4th round he put on much more pressure regardless of the fact that he was counter punching. If you look at the stats at the end of the 4th, Gustafson has WAY more shots landed, he also clearly inflicted much more damage. The people in the comments arguing that he had to pressure him more confuse me, because he did pressure him with the circling footwork and would counter when he could. The ONLY argument that even makes sense is the final round, where Jon clearly started winning and Alex began gassing, and Jon did land a takedown (finally). But still it doesn't make sense to me, he stopped every takedown except for one, pressured him more, landed more, landed with more power, and out maneuvered him with footwork, what else could you ask for? And the judge that had it 49-46 shouldn't even be allowed to have an opinion on the fights let alone judge them.
