Gustafsson didn't won that fight - and what is he talking about with the Glover fight? Even if Jon was penalized he still won every round. This is a last minute fight. Why should Gustafsson take this fight? If he lose then he have 4 losses in the last 5 fight. If Jon wins this fight and the one vs DC afterwards then he most possibly will fight Anthony Johnson before Gustafsson. If DC wins over either Jon or Ovince then he most likely will fight Gustafsson right after. If Gustafsson took this fight vs Jon and lost and Jon then won the title, why should Jon fight Gus again? Gus gotta take a fight or two before he surely gets a title fight against either DC or Jon. Anthony Johnson had a mouth surgery so he wasn't a opportunity. Jon's last fight was 15 month ago, and Ovince is the best possibly opponent he can face atm. Johnson and Gus wasn't a opportunity and DC pulled out with a injury. Who is left back then? He beated both Rashad and Glover, and they are fighting each other later this month. So he can't fight them. Ryan Bader fought just 3 month ago and lost vs Anthony Johnson. Then we have Mauricio Rua but he lost to Ovince. So Ovince is the best man Jon can fight on this short notice. Without a doubt. I am always nervous when Jon fights and i will be this time also. He is the big favourite and i see him winning. I think Jon hits harder now than ever, so i go for a KO or TKO. Jon is also the superior wrestler so he could very well win by submission. He also have a proven chin. No one have really hurted him inside the Octagon by a shot, and i think he is to smart to get caught with a clean punch by Ovince. But i am still nervous. As long as Jon wins i am happy. I wanna see him smash DC.
I posted this on Youtube earlier this week about the Gus fight: Jon Jones won that fight hands down. Actually he landed more strikes in every round than Gustafsson. So he out-striked him in every round. I guess everyone can agree that Jon won the last 2 rounds - round 4 was pretty even, but Jon landed more strikes and hurt Gustafsson badly. So easy decision to pick Jon as the winner of round 4. He dominated round 5 and won that. So in order to win the fight Gustafsson had to win the first three rounds. Bloodyelbow made a great ****ysis of the first three rounds. Gustafsson were missing a lot more than Jon, and he was also landing fewer power strikes. Gustafsson only won that round due too the takedown. In second round Jon was outlanding Gustafsson again. Gustafsson landed only 4 power strikes in that round and 9 jabs. Jon landed 12 jabs and 10 power strikes. Gustafsson was maybe the more active fighter, but he missed too many strikes, so Jones won that round. Round 3 was the same as round 2. Gus only landed that jab, while Jones landed more power strikes and more total strikes. So Jones also won round 3. So for me it's a 4-1 fight for Jones. As i was watching it, the fight could've gone either way, but looking on the stats afterwards, it's a clear win for Jones. Just like Manny vs Pacquiao. Many thought Pacquiao won that fight, but looking on the stats he clearly lost. Just like Gus lost this fight. The Robojudge on Bloodyelbow also showed the possibility of who won the fight and which rounds each fighter won. If the missed shots counted - Gus had 58,5 % - Jon 41,5 % chance of winning round 1. Jon had 67,3 % - Gus 32,7 % chance of winning round 2. Jon had 65,7 % - Gus 34,3 % chance of winning round 3. Jon had 85,4 % - Gus 14,6 % chance of winning round 4. Jon had 92,2 % - Gus 7,8 % chance of winning round 5. The Robojudge had the percentage of Jon winning how many round this way: 5 out of 5 rounds - 14,45% 4 out of 5 rounds - 38,62% 3 out of 5 rounds - 33,33% 2 out of 5 rounds - 11,85% 1 out of 5 rounds - 1,67% 0 out of 5 rounds - 0,07% So the Robojudge had a 86,4% chance of Jon winning the fight and only 13,6% chance of Gus winning that fight. And i don't understand why no one of these Jon Jones haters don't listen to the experts. If we take a quick look on the media scores then it's like this: Bleacherreport: Nathan McCarter - 49-46. Jon. Brent Brookhouse - 49-46. Jon. Steven Rondina - 48-47. Jon. Sherdog: Mike Whitman - 49-46. Jon. Chris Nelson - 48-47. Jon. TJ DeSantis - 48-47. Jon. MMAJunkie: 49-46. Jon. Bloodyelbow: Brent Brookhouse - 49-46. Jon. MMAMania: Cory Braiterman - 48-47. Jon. MMAWeekly: 48-47. Jon. MMAfighting: Luke Thomas - 48-47. Jon. TheMMAReport: Jason Floyd - 48-47. Jon. Sportsnet: Adam Martin - 48-47. Jon. BJPenn: Chase Raymond - 48-47. GUS. So it comes down too this. Five scored it 49-46 for JON JONES. Eight scored it 48-47 for JON JONES ONE scored it 48-47 for GUSTAFSSON. So 13 scored it for Jon and only 1 scored it for Gus. I still haven't seen anyone document that Gustafsson won that fight - other than "he dominated, Jon is a ****head, Jon only won cause he's the champ"...... And so on. Jon Jones won that fight. Stop being stupid.
Jones needs to stop milking his huge size advantage, man up and take his beatings like a man @ heavyweight
