Prepare Gustafsson for Jones

Theigo Silva, Bader/Rampage winner...

Lil Nog, then either Rampage/Bader winner, or Shogun.

 

Lil' Nog is a good shout.

 

Thats cutting Gustafsson a little short here.. This guy is a very dangerous opponent.

 

I'd put him in with the most aggressive strikers/grapplers I could. He needs to be put in a **** position so I'm thinking Davis again, Evans etc If it is a striker then it has to be a dangerous striker.

When he faces Jones he'll have the size but he needs to understand how dangerous each strike or grapple could be.

 

Lil Nog

Rampage / Bader winner

Providing he picks up wins there , that IMO warrants a shot at Jones

Sidenote , Rampage would knock him into next week i feel

Edit ; does Franklin have an opponent ???

 

I think Gustafsson poses much more of a threat to Jones than most other guys. He has great boxing(for MMA) and is about as big as Jones with a pretty good reach. He could pose some problems for Jones, although I would expect Jones to just take him down and hold him there.

But to answer the question I would have his next fight against Bader or Davis then Shogun.

 

I'd want to keep Shogun away from Gustafsson.. Simply because I'd hate to see Shogun be used at a measuring stick.

 

And Shogun shouldn't get a rematch. He got utterly annihilated the first time around, and since then he's lost to a guy who is in the line ahead of him. Also there are a couple of guys who haven't gotten their shot yet who deserve a chance first.

:hat

 

Bader is a good fight for him.

 

He has about the same reach as Shogun and Hamill, despite being taller. All of his length appears to be in his legs.

 

Practice tapping.

 

I like the Lil Nog idea, he is a solid vet and still a dangerous fighter. Rampage is fighting Bader anyhow so the timeline won't work.
