Alexander Gustafson is considered the biggest upset of UFC 165, an event that takes place on the 21st, in Toronto. The Swede faces the champion Jon Jones for the organization's light heavyweight belt. But without great expectations about his performance, he never fails to provoke his rival. For Gustafsson, Jones is nothing more than 'a spoiled child'
“He’s a kid in an adult’s body. Jon Jones He's a very immature boy in a grown man's body. A person isn't always themselves on camera, and that's how Jones is. If you spend a whole week with him, like I did during the UFC tour, you see the way he carries himself. He's a bully, he's like a spoiled child, you say 'yes' to everything she asks. There are no limits. I’m not a fan of this behavior”, said the challenger in an interview with the Swedish website Kimura.
Alexander also criticized Jones' stance during the UFC's world tour to publicize the clash. “We were going to do an interview together in England. I had to sit and wait because Jones was late. When he arrived, 45 minutes later than scheduled, he didn't apologize, neither to me nor to those who would be doing the interview. I'm a professional and I have respect for Jones as a fighter. There aren't many people who can do what he did and he deserves respect. But as a person, as a model, I'm really not a fan,” he added.
In addition to the struggle between Jon Jones e Alexander Gustafson, UFC 165 brings another title fight to the fight program. The Brazilian Renan Barao defends the interim bantamweight belt against the North American Eddie Wineland.
