Alexander Gustafsson Continues To Make Case For Jon Jones Rematch
Alexander Gustafsson continues to pitch his case as to why he should be next in line for a rematch against Jon Jones.
Jones successfully retained his light heavyweight title over Gustafsson back at UFC 165 in 2013 by decision. It was a close war that saw both men have their moments and one of the best fights in the history of the promotion. Some fight fans could even argue that the former title contender may have won the fight.
Alexander Gustafsson Continues To Make Case
With the UFC needing big fights these days, the former title contender pitched his case for fighting Jones again earlier this week. Then over the weekend, he pitched his case for the second time. Despite the fact that UFC President Dana White has gone on record by stating that Jones won’t fight at UFC 230, there is still speculation that he’ll headline the card with no obvious main events out there. Gustafsson wrote the following on his official Instagram account:
“Who would u fight if not me champ [Jon Jones]. That’s the only fight that makes sense right now! Why wait let’s do it.. let me beat u one more time.”
