Topic: UFC 232: Jones vs Gustafsson 2 Prediction and Info Thread - page 6. (Read 1163 times)
Isn't it Gustafsson will be coming from a long lay out as well? He last fought Teixeira May 2017 if I'm not mistaken so both of them will ring rust. But I would have to agree with the majority here, I'm not seeing a upset here. We all know that Jones is a freak and the better fighter between the two.
As I much I want to see Gustafsson win this match his recent matches didn't show that he had improved at all since the last match against Jon Jones. Gustafsson somehow became an ok fighter but not an excellent one who will be dominating the light heavyweight division. Only way I can see him win is if he recognizes his mistakes between him and Jones and try to look on how to counter them because he really is eating up a lot of Jones' elbows and it was the game changer during the first match.
Ok, I'll do that. But Jones wasn't lying when he said he was partying during that time around the match vs Gus. Tho I agree Jones didn't look that good vs OSP (maybe cos no roids)... The Cormier one, I have to look again.
Anyway dunno... Jones just has more tools. And he has prolly already learned from the first fight.

Watch Gus vs. Jones 1, turn the sound off and tell me who won more rounds
Now watch round 1-2 of Jones vs Comier and the OSP fight both of which were after long times off.
Im giving Gus round 1 and maybe 2 based on Jones ring rust, Last fight was very close and he is the only person that has come close to putting jones in real danger.
Look at Nunes´build, her striking tech, she just needs to win 3 out of 5 rounds, when these take place with her on top for most of the round, no problem and she has enough power and take down skills to get it done, not to mention being able to stand with Cyborg.

^ I'm rooting for Gus but I just can't see how he wins vs Jones. Jones is just too good. Same with Nunes... Cyborg is just too guy. Lol.

Jon Jones to win by KO or TKO imo providing he’s been able to get himself fully fit & strong being off the old performance enhancing drugs
He’s one of my favourite fighters so I really hope he’s sorted his shit out.
