I'm inclined to agree with you. Gustafsson has some amazing strikes and a very well developing ground game. Bringing Phil Davis into his camp has done wonders.
Gustafsson will beat anyone except for jones right now......2 to 3 more fights and he will beat jones.
Well he didn't exactly get a chance to show his ground game which is too bad, becuase Matu is a solid wrestler and he could have got the practise. Jones will be busy with Rashad-Davis winner and maybe Hendo so Gust will get a couple more well needed fights in the interim. The sweeden card would be perfect and I'm assuming Dana already has that in mind for the rising star. I don't think Gust is ready for jones yet....but by the end of the year they might just meet......who knows.
Jones vs Gustafsson is definately a fight that could be a great, exciting, highly anticipated matchup a year from now. Hopefully Gustafsson keeps working hard, keeps learning and keeps doing the things he needs to do to improve. If he picks up a couple of good victories while Jones is busy slaughtering Rashad and Hendo, then this could be a really good fight a little bit down the line. :hat
I'm kinda happy Lil' Nog got injured. I dont think a win over him would've done the Mualer any good..
Been talking up gustafsson since 2 fights before hamil and knew he had been training with phil davis since two weeks after he lost to phil. Gustafsson will beat silva easily. Hope the odds are better than nog vs gustafsson.
