“I worked really hard to get here and I'm going to leave with the belt,” said a confident Gustafsson. In turn, Jones guarantees that his rival's greater height will not be a problem in the fight. “This sport is a game of intelligence and I am very prepared to be here. It's the third time I've fought in Canada and I'm ready for the fight”, said the champion, who did not look the Swede in the eye at the time.
In the other fights on the show, the only athlete who failed to make weight was Ivan Menjivar, the Brazilian's rival Wilson reis. He will have two hours to cut the remaining weight and confirm the duel.
