Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I have been wanting to see this fight for a while, my only gripe is that Gustaffson never really had to go through a contender fight to earn it. Lyoto Machida is facing Phil Davis again, while Gustaffson advances doesn't make much sense to me, however I like this matchup better anyways.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

If Gus will atack the chicken legs, he will be taken down => not good
If Gus wants to box, he will have a hard time to close the distance, getting inside of Jones punching range => not good

I don't really see a way Gus can win this... sorry to say that. He's not a scrapper to push Jones against the cage and keep him there, he doesn't have the Jits to sub Jones, and I dont think he could outpoint Jon..

Hard hard match up for the Mauler

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Match-up wise it is more interesting, but honestly the only top 10 guy Gustaffson beat was Shogun who is not the opponent in any way, shape, or form in the top 10 that he should have gotten in order to better prepare himself for someone with the wrestling capabilities of Jones.  I like the fight personally,  it's just the way they set it up that is crap.   It now makes perfect sense why they booked Machida vs. Davis so that they can keep Lyoto busy and so that they can have at legitimate reason to book the fight.  It'd would be a better fight IMO if they booked Machida vs. Gustafson  for a real title eliminator.

I see where you coming from I also wanted him to fight one more time against a good wrestler but on the other hand I think Gustafsson has earned his shot, he might not be the best fighter Jones has fought but let´s face it Jones hasn´t been taking out elite competition exactly, aside Machida he fought a MW Belfort who almost finishes him btw, an out of shape past his prime Rua a lazy ass and careless Rampage and Rashad who we can clearly see is not at his best and yet he carrried him to a UD. I´m not saying Jones isn´t good by all means, but I´m glad he got matched against new blood who has already proven himself. at least I hope we can watch a competitive match

It's one thing to want Gus to win and it's another to actually think he will. Like I offered in a different thread for anyone who wants a sig/av bet I'll take it. Bones finishes Gus and makes it look rather easy.

I would rather have a green check then a red x......Bones won't lose to somebody that lost to Phil Davis.

@mmawizard agree with the fact it will be submission, just not round and style because all of Jon's submission wins come from Chokes so if anything i could see him hitting a modified guillotine of some sort.

No offense to Gus but this will probably be Jonny's easiest title defense thus far. Gus may someday wear UFC gold but it won't be until Bones moves up to HW.

No way that Gustafsson puts up less of a fight than Sonnen.

Seriously, Gus isn't getting TKO'd in the first round...

I really wanted to see Gus fight Bader or Davis again before fighting Bones.  I think it'll be Jones by rd.3 sub.

Prediction: wrong Gustafsson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Obviously I'm a big Gustafsson fan, but I wish they would waited until Anderson/Weidman to announce this fight. I'd prefer that the UFC actually deliver a superfight and Alex take another fight versus the winenr of Evans/Henderson or Lil Nog. Should SIlva get past Weidman, then it would be a prime time to pit the two best fighters in MMA against each other in the big fight they wanted for the 20th anniversary of the Ultimate Fighting Championships first event.

This fight is only being made because Jon Jones is running out of people he could dominate. Gustafsson is tailor-made to lose to Jon Jones.

I really want Gus to win but Jones is better than him at pretty much everything and should dominate this fight.
