Alexander Gustafsson says Jon Jones is the real UFC light heavyweight champion

[Wild]

Alexander Gustafsson holds a unique place in the 205-pound division as the only fighter to have competed against both Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier. He took each man to the limit, nearly defeating them both but suffering decision losses that were controversial at the time.

Jones, of course, has beaten Cormier twice but went afoul of USADA after the second fight and the title was given back to Cormier. So which one does Gustafsson think is better? And who does he want to fight? He answered that on a recent edition of the MMA Hour:

forgot how amazing Gus's woman was

what a stud

Him and Shogun are my all time 205 crushes/idols....class fighters with dime women on their side

That's a Swedish 6.

I just wish for christmas that Gus learns to translate exactly what he means in english. Even though im a huge fan what he said in this interview sounded quite retarded due to poor translation from him.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

Well Gus isnt wrong

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

I would pick Gus in a rematch with both DC and Jones.

He had his shot and now is nothing more than Chael Sonnen.

I would pick Gus in a rematch with both DC and Jones.
