Alexander Gustafsson's first person account of one of the greatest fights of 2013. From the moment Gustafsson arrives in Canada, through his epic five round battle with Jon Jones, experience the light heavyweight challenger’s exclusive account of UFC 165.
The judge that scored it 49-46 must've been doing the CoCo like Jones. Gustaffson is the true Champ.
Watch Dana look at Gus when Buffer announces " and still " Dana definitely thought there was a new champ !
Exactly my thoughts, lol
Alex is a humble guy. No bullshit and no disrespect towards other fighters. Only thing that matters is skill and confidence - two things he definitely got. This isn't the WWE - let your fists do the talk.
Did Jones say "he's gonna prove that 'height' doesn't matter? Gus only has one inch on him. WTF??
that 49-46 was bs
Yup. Chris Lee. Worst judge in MMA. He has a long list of horrible calls. And I mean horrible. I can't remember the other examples but he's had some shockingly bad ones
just like hendrickz lawler 2, or miocic jds, a lot o retarded matches with judges failing shit
I don't know how but that judge gave jones 2,3,4,5. Rounds 1 and 3 were definently gus and only round was for sure given to jones was the fifth round. 2 and 4 was the controversial rounds.
phillip nguyen Well really every round was close. In context there were no blowout rounds for either fighter.
Still can't believe ANYONE could score this 49-46 Jones, even his biggest fan boys would call shenanigans on that bs.
What a fucking warrior Gustaffosn is.
Just another feminist Swede
Leaffordes You think equality is bad? U fucking moron.
But he cried after getting finished against Rumble. Fail..
CrybabyKiller2014 lmaoo wordd
zen master - mr potato head Many people say its lost and i want the best for Sweden too but its hard to keep Sweden like it used to be with these fucking politicans. Fuck it if people say its lost i will fight for Sweden and i know many will beacuse so many people are tierd of ungrateful fucks like the immigrants they come here and do illegal stuff here instead of their country. And the feminists i dont care so much about. But im a little ashamed of how the new generation of kids in this country are going they are only geeks and just sit infront of the computer and dont go outside or dont go to the gym or anything its a little sad but not all are like that. Sometimes i feel like fuck Sweden im gonna move to Norway instead but this is my country i shouldnt abandon it the immigrants should.
Personally i dont really care "how close" the fight was because in my eyes and in the majority of the worlds eyes gustaffson won and the judges robbed him of his belt because they probably didnt wanna lose any money which they would have if gustaffson got the belt...so in my opinion the UFC just dropped to a low lvl in my eyes. It now shows how they care more about the money than the sportsmanship....dissapointing :/
The athletic department conrtols judging
AlexanderDanho Lose money? The judges are appointed by the Athletic commission. The judges have no loyalty to UFC. You obviously don't know much about how the business works.
Do you mean the minority?
Fuck you
AlexanderDanho wont respond because he made himself look like an idiot.
Gus got too comfortable in the 4th and jones punished him for it. I mean the 4th was the best round so far for gus before the elbow. I still think Gus won though, looking forward to the rematch if he gets past rumble.
If it wasnt for that elbow not even the judges could have saved Jones...
aluapzurc2 without that elbow gus would have probably won all the rounds imo. BUT, thats what fighting is all about, to hurt the opponent, even if it is a "lucky" shot. Jones did what he had to do, he is creative and came up with a plan B like a champ should do. I dont think he can land an elbow like that next fight though.
horslems I get what you're saying, i still think Gus won that fight, but they're both incredible fighters, i hope Gus wins his fight against Johnson so we can have a rematch.
aluapzurc2 i think he won it too. :)
it does sometimes seem like certain fights could be called a tie.
The last sentence of Gustafsson was scary. I wish him all the best!
How can you not love Alexander great guy
Am a big fan of Gustafsson after this video. True man. Class.
Alexander says here that Jon Jones underestimated him. By the end of the fight, John was humbled by Alexander in the same way that by the end of the fight between Daniel Cormier, Daniel was humbled by John.... I think Life has a way of humbling us all.
Meh, shaddapp!
quite right, reminds me of a quote by a great writer/author, kurt Vonnegut, "life is no way to treat an animal"
"You want the Knockout wrap, or the tap out rap?" - Stitch is the best at what he does.
He offers the decision wrap to GSP only
Corey Collins thats great
Corey Collins nice one.
Naah
UFC keep doing this kind of videos in every rare fight they are good.
Judges need to take an IQ and Vision test.
The end was so good the emotional music the slow mo the talks the walk out.. so good.
Thought gus won.
Most clear headed sane people do too.
gus was beating the hell out of jon jones but it changed at the end so no i dont think he won lol. Jon jones came back at the end and its no point now since he got knocked out.
DeadlyGamerTv Jones came back too late in the fight imo. And yes he lost last night, but almost every great fighter will stumble somewhere.
I dont know if it's true but im hearing that jon jones next walk out song will be " IM IN WITH THE COCO"
Lol!!!
Baking soda, i got baking soda !
OG BamBam GO andre nicotina, razor...sharp...crack raider!
Good stuff do more of these for all fights.
Powerful Gustafsson. You got this Champ. Next time there will be no room for debate
I really like the break down this video provides.
This is disrespectful to Rumble. It's okay though everybody, keep underestimating him.
Let them underestimate him, I know one who doesn't, Alexander.
What the fuck are you talking about? It's a promo you moron. They're promoting Rumble too.
Rumble is world beater.
A lot of people think that rumble is going to ktfo gus no one is underestimating him
***** hear that!!
I was there in person, in between the fourth and fifth round the crowd was nuts. It takes two great fighters to have a fight of that caliber. It was fucking amazing.
Yes! Can't wait for the next fight!
Really 49/46 what a blatant robbery on that judge
I was always an adven football and basketball player growing up but never fell in love with the sports matter of fact any sport until I found MMA now I can finally say I love a sport. this my shit
49-46.... HAHAHA BIGGEST JOKE TO EVER HAPPEN IN THE UFC. There's been some fuck ups from the judges, and I can accept that they gave jones the win, but 49-46 jones?! Fuck out of here.
GUS WON. FAIR AND SQUARE. FUCK JONES.
agreed man, Gus got robbed
shogun vs machida 1 is the biggest joke.
This video is amazing, really well done.
Gustafsson's professionalism alone shows how he deserves to have that belt
WOOO This is The fight iv'e been waiting for , most exciting for sure .
The funny thing is this is a clear Gus highlight video but still you can see that almost all of his punches are hitting the air and not connecting bus and peolple still believe he won this fight wow the people who think Gus won this must have low expectations on how to win a fight.
Bruh I know this is 5 years but you think Jons face magicly became a pufferfish? Don't be stupid.
Love this guy
gus proved that reach and height matters a lot
Exactly, Jones should've had to finish Gustafsson to win
Gus became one of my favorite fighters after this fight.... i always cheer for him and seeing this video just reminded me how excited i was watching this fight, it was AMAZING
Both great fighters, its gonna be an amazing fight. Even better than Jones vs Cormier. So hyped!
Best mix for UFC: BOXING - MUAY THAI - BJJ
Soon you'll be holding that tittle champ, Keep up the good work!
this video is meant to promote gustafson for stockholm so people need to remember that the highlights package is angled towards his skills and parts in the Jones fight where he was dominant. Jones dominated Gustafson up close and landed some very hard shots, many of which are omitted from this piece so it is difficult to judge using this that Gus was totally dominant
yo juego el juego de UFC Y ALEXANDER ES MI MONO
what a fight
You'll be the champ soon dude. 2015 is your year, I believe.
Good luck Аlex good luck!!
My favorite,fighter
Love my man Alex, he is number 1
Gus should have been deducted at least 3 points, for running away from Jones so many times. 11:05
***** Gustafsson should be used as an example of a wood chipper accident after round 4 when he sat on the bench with his mouth open and head bloody like a tampon.
It's funny if running can kick someone's ass than do it if needed lol. So what if he did or not he was locked in a cage but ur a troll Edie I get it
phillip nguyen He was cutting angles, but he was running everytime Jon tried to hit back. Kind of a bullshit response to flat out just run.
***** You know what else isn't scientific fact? "Oh his face looks more beated up so therefore the other guy won hurr durr". Gus did out-land in the 4th but Jon landed more significantly, rocked him, and was unloading with no response. Gustafsson also ran and was clearly in survival mode. Thats a 10-9 for Jon. And even through out the round, Jon still had Octagon control and was never not defending or attempting the counter strike. How about the even more numerous professionals who scored the fight for Jones including the judges, Dana White, Glover Texxiera (who was in the building). And why is it that the majority of people who were vocal about him having lost the fight were fighters in his division? Possible bias? lol Just admit it, you watched the fight with rose-tinted glasses, and you were gassed up by Joe Rogan's theatrical analysis. Jon was so dominant in his fights that ANY and EVERY time he got hit or taken down, it was seen as a huge accomplishment and gave Alexander credibility. Look at the fight as a fight. Jon won. Barely, but he got it done.
That makes 0 sense. Running is legit move to use.
Lycka till broder! Good luck!
That elbow in the 4th saved Jones. He was losing the round too. I hope we get to see a rematch later in the year.
Gus wasn't kidding when he said jOnes 'changed' his tactics in round 3. Watch it again. The amount of EYE POKES Jon did was UNREAL!!! It was the ONLY way jon kept Gus from fuckin MAULING him. Gus woulda FINISHED jon if it wasn't for that cowards of a tactic.
tell gus stop poking people in the eys too . Look what he did to rumble lmaooooo . Yall cant use the poking shit nomore
VikingII lmao thanks for defending gus but 1 eye poke or not he did it :). I just wanted to say it since everyone love to say it against jon jones. Congrats gus for getting knocked out
DeadlyGamerTv the discussion is not whether the eye like occurred, it's whether a single accidental eye poke excuses excessive wanton intended eye pokes of another fighter... this isn't about"defending" someone, this is about logical consistency.
VikingII eye poke occurred*
VikingII i just wanted to say that gus poked rumble in the eye :). I just like how people kept talking about jon jones doing it and making it the reason gus lost. Everyone got a damn excuse but when gus did it even one time nobody says anything. Oh well life goes on cuz that dude wont get a chance again lmao.
Just a good person and great fighter
Gustafsson won the 1st, 2nd, and 4th in my opinion. Hope to see Gustafsson back in the octagon soon regardless, one of my favorite fighters
Does anybody know what the name of that little beat/song that plays for the first 5 seconds is? It's on every UFC promo video and I wanna know if its a real song.
this was epically made
Guftaffson won the fight ,in my opinion the only move that hurt alexander was the spinning back elbow
that makes me so mad that gustafsson didn't get the belt. he controlled it more, he landed more shots, was more accurate, he just had more in the stats. he will be champ soon and Jon can look back on his career and think about what he did wrong and where he went wrong. go gustafsson
I was really disappointed that Alex Gustafson lost the fight coz I was really looking forward to the rematch but at the same time it's a good thing coz if makes the LHW division interesting. If jones beats Rumble Johnson at least we get to see the re-match later on down the line coz I believe Alex has that eye of the tiger factor to bounce back even stronger than his loss to Phil Davis. But I'm looking forward to see Jones vs Rumble Johnson, curious to see what game plan they have for each other. What game plan do you think Rumble has to implement against Jones??
Can anyone tell me which guiter cover was used for the last part of the video?Alexander you are a fucking warrior sir.
Jones should fight Gustaffson this summer when he returns!!! Followed by Cormier...
49-46 EVEN THE LOOK ON MCCARTHYS FACE 17:00- 17:07 HE KNEW IT WAS BULLSHIT
I scored this fight 3-2 for Jones. Best fight I've ever seen to date. Hopefully Jones will get his life together and we'll see the rematch between these two amazing fighters! I honestly believe that one day Gustafsson will have the belt.
May2018 yes yea
Please dont u know that soundtrack in background in 12:30?
The good thing about mma, or ufc specifically I'd ghat there really isn't any of that fight ducking that you see in boxing. Gus, even though he's lost 3 times recently, its always to the best.
FUck man, i gotta watch the whole fight again.
If they rematch again I would expect adjustments from both fighters and I think Alex has what it takes to win. Jon will "go out of his way" to take Alex out to prove a point which may benefit Alex & perhaps win him the belt. Either way the rematch DOES NOT go the distance.
Gustaffson is the definition of a viking
Gusto won that fight IMO, it was close but Gus looked more dominate majority of the fight.
I will forever refuse the notion that Gustafsson lost that fight.
Man i feel like Gus is ready for anyone now after seeing his recent training sessions, dude's becoming a monster, i feel like he's gonna get Jones and it's gonna be an impressive win !
Just to re-iterate my point Alex Gustafsson is nothing without Jon Jones. These clips are skewed to make it seem like Gustafsson won to hype up his fights. Basic marketing. There was no robbery. Good call by the judges and I hope to see the rematch.
anybody knows the title of the last song of the vid?
Absolutely disgraceful. Gustafsson was clearly the better fighter. Jon Jones only had one good round. This is literally a spit in the face to Alexander!
I call bullshit that was Gustafsons fight
Three things I want to note here: 1- The war between Jones and Gustafsson didn't started by nothing. Jones started disrespecting and underestimating him. 2-Gustafsson is not a saint, not Jones either, both are somewhat overconfident and taunt frequently 3-The fight result wasn't neither a Robbery nor a marketing plan. It was a mistake by the judges who got impressed by the end of the 4th Round, merits to Jones for applying that elbow but his performance wasnt consistent enough to get the first, second and third round, although he was better in the last ones. I rally for Alex, but both are awesome fighters.
Hey, anyone here can explain how does the judging system work in Championship fights? Why does it seem like a couple of title fights has been the same outcome? Does the first 3 rounds not matter but only the 4 and 5 championship rounds?
Well gus was actually winning the 4th round jon only won the end of that round. His only dominant round over gus was the 5th round I still think gus won even joe rogan said jon may have to finish the fight I believe people/judges look at the last rounds as more of a comeback so they tend to give the comeback fighter the win.
epic.
whats the difference in the types of wraps that stitch was talking about?
Mind games
Wrapped the same, taped differently
that's was hell of fight > to me jones vs Gustafsson 1 .. is the best fight of all time in UFC
such a cool cat is Gus
good promo i want to watch the rematch now ... jones dodged the bullet with that whole dc thing lol
I've seen this fight 3 different times and I have no idea how that one judge gave it 49-46 to Jones. Like what the heck.
If these two fought again, Gustafsson is going to dethrone Jones.
Never in his darkest thoughts did it cross Jones's mind that Alex would prove such a tough task,fuck was he surprised whole fight and after it.
- Alexander Gustafsson u was best in this fight but this man so lucky
anyone know the song at the end?
This show is from 2 years ago
Alex ........ And new light heavy weight champion
I guess Rumble is the new light heavy weight champion now.
Sometimes the judges are too focused on the fifth round, and almost forget about rounds 1,2,3, and 4.
I hope Alex doesn't underestimating Anthony Johnson. Rumble is a pretty tough guy. It'll probably go a 5 round decision.
I guess he did.
0:25 Manos: Hands of Fate! "I wish those hands would just push him over!"
Anybody who know the background music being played at the end from 16:41 to 18:03?
Gus was screwed! He clearly won the fight.
This was on the ufc 165 dvd pretty lame for the ufc to post it just NOW
What's the last song`?
7:21 that's the guy in the movie creed
I don't give a shit who won, but both men put their heart and soul into this fight and gave an outstanding performance.
Gustafsson has to use more tools like Leg Kicks, Elbows. If he uses leg kicks, spinning elbows like jones, I guess he will be very tough to beat. He has evrything else . Hope he will take care of those for the next fight against jones. It will be complete different fight.
Guustafssons corner guy thought they got robbed. Alexander still clapped. respect
The best fight ever, The Mauler rules!
Rooting for Rumble here!!!
Alexander really giving everything his got
