judges only score the end of the round. even the 4th one was all Gus till that last 45 seconds pressure by Bones.

But the last 45 seconds of the fourth were the most significant of the fight. There seriously needs to be a rematch and great interview from Gus at the end. The man is all class.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

and you have jones dick in your mouth.

witty. You sure do like to talk about dicks in mouths.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Credit to Gustafsson, close fight, very good defensive fight display from him. Grats to Bones Jones, great champ.

The 49-46 i guess was because Alexander was on his bike at times idk

Octagon control is one of the criterias for judging. I can see that.

Either way, I had Jones winning 3-2. I want to see an immediate rematch. This was the fight of the year, by far.

Bones will dispatch Glover in short order and then we will get the rematch.

Maybe it was the reach, but Jones had such a tough time taking Gustfasson down that I'm not too sure he'll have an easy time taking down Glover. Glover has knock out power and could surprise people. Either way I would rather have Glover - Davis for #1 contender and immediate rematch for Gus - Jones 2.

 

[Agnt]

So Jones thought that his reach wasn't the reason why he won a lot of fight? LOL OKAY

 

[Omega]

there's been so many unnecessary rematches already and they're not going to give it to the one guy that actually deserves it.

Fuck Glover. who the fuck has he beaten? a washed up Rampage?

 

[Levito]

Hahaha good god this is like when Machida was dominated by Shogun and still one the decision.

Bones will dispatch Glover in short order and then we will get the rematch.

Yup, exactly the same.

 

[krpiper]

Gustaffson has won himself a new fan.

Amazing.

Same here, I will keep a closer eye on him now. What a battle.

 

[Hunter S.]

Crowd should have been booing those damn nice Canadians. Gustafesson just got robbed big time, Dana needs the money for Jones not a Swede.

 

[charsace]

This fight could have been a draw. If Gus had a head kick in him Jones would have been in some serious trouble.

 

[dem]

Once Jones started clipping Gus with those elbows it was over.

No one has elbows like that.


Hope the UFC takes care of Gus for that fight.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

belt never changes hands in such a close fight anyway. super impressed by gustafsson. wow.

amazing fight.

 

[op_ivy]

witty. You sure do like to talk about dicks in mouths.

call it as i see it. you and rogan have huge boners for bones

 

[Plywood]

Props to Phil Davis for turning Gus into a much more well-rounded fighter.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

call it as i see it. you and rogan have huge boners for bones

again with the penises. Obsess much?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

His toe wasn't even healthy man. You can tell.

 

[Can Crusher]

Gus exposed Bones tonight. If a skilled coach gets on the mauler train, this kid is gonna blast Bones into Bellator.

 

[BadAss2961]

Man, I need a rematch.

You know Dana can't wait to hype a rematch and run it back.

I'm pretty confident that Jones lost the first 3 rounds, but won the last 2. Gustafsson should've won on points, but he failed to finish strong against the champion.

 

[smoothj]

Regardless of the outcome, it was an amazing fight from start to finish. I think it is best that it went the distance so it sets up a rematch nicely.

Mad respect to both fighters, wow what a fight.

Easy FotN so at least he'll get some extra $$$.

 

[MeBecomingI]

you are kidding rogan had jones dick in his mouth till probably the 4th round before he started giving gus credit for constantly outlanding him. it was all, "look at jones leg kicks! that could hyperextend the knee!"

You may want to go back and listen to the fight again. Rogan was all over Gustafsson.

 

[Levito]

Bones has the worst apologists. Confirmed.

 

[Nameless]

When I heard that last score card I thought Gus had it. Even, brutal, spectacular fight. Dana should run this back Super Bowl weekend, but Grover's gonna get his shot.


Let Gus feast on Machida in the mean time. That should finally shut him and his fans up for good.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You may want to go back and listen to the fight again. Rogan was all over Gustafsson.

Rogan had Jones losing the fight, marveled at how busted up his face was since the first round, and hyped up Gus' boxing level striking. But apparently that equates to some sort of verbal fellatio to our fellow poster with the penis envy.

 

[TheOohChild]

incredible fight. I don't envy the judges for having to score that one, but 4-1 is a joke. Still not mad about Bones winning though. Him taking 3 rounds is justifiable, and put some serious damage on Gus in the fourth

 

[Agnt]

Gus won dammit! FUCK

 

[op_ivy]

You may want to go back and listen to the fight again. Rogan was all over Gustafsson.

not for the first couple rounds. maybe in the 3rd he started talking up gus, but before that you'd think it was a one sided affair listening to joe.

 

[Macattk15]

You may want to go back and listen to the fight again. Rogan was all over Gustafsson.

Indeed. He really was.

He went back and forth and gave props to both fighters. I don't understand why people are so pissed about Jones winning.

It was an awesome fight. Jones closed it out better ... belt isn't gonna switch hands like that. Both fighters gave that fight their fucking all.

 

[dream]

I remember Joe giving rounds to Alex that even I thought Bones Jones won. And I hate Bones Jones.

 

[alr1ght]

I think we have all learned how much an advantage a large reach gives. Gus's was still 5 inches shorter, but he was able to land over and over, something no one else has been able to do.

 

[Hunter S.]

Jones looked so fucked up not even walking out without tons of pain what a joke the UFC is sometimes.

 

[dem]

If I was a judge, I would have had it 3-2 for Gus...
That said.. I do find it hard to give a fight to the guy losing the last 2 rounds.

Gus deserved it more than Forrest Griffin over Rampage.. thats for sure.

 

[Can Crusher]

4-1 is obviously retard land, which is where the judges live.

 

[cchum]

I had 3-2 gus, but it was close. 49-46 is a mockery. Gus definately had 1 and 3

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

What a fantastic fight, best title fight in recent memory for me.

I had Gustafsson winning the first, third, and fourth up until Jones lands that spinning elbow and then almost finishes the fight.

 

[op_ivy]

Rogan had Jones losing the fight, marveled at how busted up his face was since the first round, and hyped up Gus' boxing level striking. But apparently that equates to some sort of verbal fellatio to our fellow poster with the penis envy.

dont be (more of) a cock.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

if Bones can't figure out a way to take Gus down a few times early he is going to have another long night in a rematch. He can wear Gus down that way and punish him. It's essentially what he did but it took a lot longer.

 

[MeBecomingI]

It was an awesome fight. Jones closed it out better ... belt isn't gonna switch hands like that. Both fighters gave that fight their fucking all.

Agreed.

 

[ShogunX]

Jones looked so fucked up not even walking out without tons of pain what a joke the UFC is sometimes.

The joke is ''fans'' like you coming in here with your hyperbole bullshit screaming robbery in a very close fight.

 

[Agnt]

Junior Dos Santos ‏@junior_cigano 1m
Guys just remembering that in a close decision the champion keeps the belt because the challenger must have a clear victory to win the fight



FUCK YOU JUNIOR, GUS WON THAT FIGHT

 

[Lambda Pie]

Bones is the Schilt. Gus can be our Ignashov. do it again.

 

[BadAss2961]

Let Gus feast on Machida in the mean time. That should finally shut him and his fans up for good.

Same. I thought 4-1 in favor of Gus was a lot more possible than for Jones.

It's not fair, but JDS is right. Happens all the time.

 

[op_ivy]

decent night of fights overall. still got a few of the fx1 fights that i missed to catch up on.

 

[strikeselect]

Jones' boxing was exposed hard tonight.

JDS takes him out at HW imo

 

[charsace]

Gus exposed Bones tonight. If a skilled coach gets on the mauler train, this kid is gonna blast Bones into Bellator.

Yep

Just be big, have great boxing, have fast hands, great chin, great tdd, take downs, heart. Really easy to find fighters like this to take on Jones.

 

[Macattk15]

Jones looked so fucked up not even walking out without tons of pain what a joke the UFC is sometimes.

I guarantee something is up with his toe that basically came off of his body not too long ago.

People like you are morons.

Jones took all the shots Gus could give him ... as Gus took a ton of a big shots from Jones.

You ever have a compound fracture? I'm no pro athelete but I've had one ... I felt that shit for a good year and a half even though it was "healed" long before that.

 

[thefro]

if Bones can't figure out a way to take Gus down a few times early he is going to have another long night in a rematch. He can wear Gus down that way and punish him. It's essentially what he did but it took a lot longer.

I think he can beat Gus from the clinch with elbows and knees.... that's where he almost finished him from in round 4.

 

[Lambda Pie]

What a fantastic fight, best title fight in recent memory for me.

I had Gustafsson winning the first, third, and fourth up until Jones lands that spinning elbow and then almost finishes the fight.

that's odd. 2nd round was a copy/paste of the first, what made you pick Bones?

 

[YaGaMi]

if Bones can't figure out a way to take Gus down a few times early he is going to have another long night in a rematch. He can wear Gus down that way and punish him. It's essentially what he did but it took a lot longer.

If Gus can avoid those elbows next fight it's gonna be interesting.

 

[Hunter S.]

The joke is ''fans'' like you coming in here with your hyperbole bullshit screaming robbery in a very close fight.

My belief.
bUT IT IS OVER SO WHATEVER.

 

[lupinko]

I think we have all learned how much an advantage a large reach gives. Gus's was still 5 inches shorter, but he was able to land over and over, something no one else has been able to do.

According to Gus his reach is actually 81 and not 79 so Jones advantage was only by 3. Also Gus has the inch height advantage. Never seen Bones tested like that, damn.
