UFC 165: JONES vs GUSTAFSSON 1

Watch here:

JONES vs GUSTAFSSON full fight

Anton Tabuena: If Jones does what he says, and really goes to stand with Gustafsson for majority of this fight, this will be a much closer fight than it really is, as while both are talented strikers, the challenger does have the skills and the power to secure an upset. That being said, it's still not a clear path to victory for the Swede. It will be intriguing to see who controls the distance better standing up, but their past fights are any indication, that points towards Jones. That being said, Jones will also have his wrestling, and I really do feel like if and when he gets top control, his ground and pound will once again be too overwhelming. I'll be rooting for the upset, but there's not much that can convince me to think to pick against him. Jon Jones by TKO.
