It's not great but I'll still be watching it. Sometimes these end up being the best.

I do think Jones will come out with the win, but it should be an interesting fight I think. UFC 167 is gonna be awesome and I kind of wish I was going to see that in person instead of 168. I will be happy as long as Silva beats (hopefully destroys) Weidman. Rousey vs Tate could be good too.

I don't know what to say. The fight was pretty even but seems Gust landed more strikes. Especially in the first three rounds. Both had good strikes but they needed to throw more combinations. Jones won the fourth round for sure. But if you can't finish the belt is always staying where is was.

yeah, i don't think gust came anywhere near KO... but the fact that he scored well in the early rounds really put the pressure on for jones to try and finish which made the last two rounds amazing... granite chin on gust!

wow great two title fights
I had jones winning the last 2 rounds and I had gust winning the 1st.. the fight was decided in the 2nd and 3rd and I think although close jones edged it so I agreed with the decision I feel bad for cruz coming off a 2 year lay off to have to fight barao right off the bat..yikes |

Jones was looking past Gustafsson talking about the fight with Teixeria like the fight with Gustafsson was no big deal and for that almost got his a$$ handed to him.
Dana White says there may be a Jones-Gustafsson II match before Jones meets Teixeria.

That was one of the better title fights in quite some time.
Started off slow, but I wish the 4th round wouldn't have ended. Jones would have KO'd him for sure if he had a bit more time. Correct decision in the end though, IMO. Some people don't think so though. |

Nope I think it was the correct decision. You have to dominate the champ and take the belt. In this case it could be argued either way to me...so call it a draw and have the rematch. Same thing happened with BJ Penn and Frankie "Two Times" Edgar. Have to see if Gustafsson can take the belt in the rematch early next year. It will probably be the Super Bowl weekend fight.

I think that elbow in the 4th round really won the fight for Jones. If he doesn't hurt Gustaffson with that, then he may have lost the fight. I think both fighters will come back stronger next time and it could really go either way.
