epwar Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Poster makes it look like Alexander is punching Jones in the crotch. For a show with two title fights, I'm surprised at the lack of talk about it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Lack of a quality marketing campaign for Gustafsson. You would think he would get more than the Gan McGee treatment no matter how small his chances were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Live blogs are saying that Gustafsson may eke out a split decision. Is it really that close? EDIT: Nope, My homie just tweeted that Jones won by unanimous decision. Crowd was irate at The Tilted Kilt. Gustaffsson won hearts and minds in Rounds 1-4.

Jiji Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 This is one of the best fights I've ever seen. Wonderful effort by both men. Gustafsson's combinations and uppercuts vs. Jones' myriad of kicks. Gustafsson withstood all of those damn headkicks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalancingAct Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 4 rounds for Jones is the biggest pile... not a chance. 48-47 for Gustaffson was the only result that made sense to me at all. Regardless, what a war! Best title fight ever was the right call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Virtue Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Great great fight. I think the decision is bullshit. I expected Gustaffson to win because of those first three rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Live blogs are saying that Gustafsson may eke out a split decision. Is it really that close? Yeah it was. Hard to tell who was going to get the decision until one of the judges scored it 49-46 since it was unlikely anyone was giving Gustafsson either of the last 2 rounds.

Jiji Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 49-46 is really weird but not totally unexpected. Fuck Glover Teixeira, we need a rematch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 He was working on instincts in the last round. When he put his hand on his hips with 2 to go, I thought it was over but he just kept going. Jones was pretty shook during that interview. Legitimately surprised that Gustafsson didn't go down.

Stevie Ray Von Erich Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Only caught the main but the result was terrible. There is no way Jones should have won a unanimous decision, let alone a 49-46 card. The scoring was absurd to me and I like Jones. An amazing fight which I thought Gus survived through to win, but I guess having Nike and Gatorade as sponsors makes you a face of the UFC so losing a decision is like NBA stars getting called for traveling, it doesn't happen.

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 More people could have saw this and been super pumped for the rematch if they didn't market Gustafsson like he was Gan McGee. But hey, I don't make the decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
