Alexander Gustafson He had a great fight, but he couldn't defeat the champion Jon Jones in the main fight of UFC 165, an event held this Saturday (21), in Toronto, Canada. But despite being defeated in a tight decision by the judges, the Swede left the show with high morale. In addition to being highly praised by Dana White, president of the franchise, he also received the support of a successful compatriot.
Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was full of praise for Gustafsson. For the player, who is also a black belt in tae-kwon-do, Gustafsson was the winner of the clash.
“Congratulations, 'AlexTheMauler' (Gustafsson's nickname). For me, you are the winner. I'm very proud of you. Keep fighting like a champion”, wrote the player on his official Twitter profile.
In the duel, valid for the light heavyweight belt, Gustafsson started better and had the advantage until the end of the fourth round, when the champion managed to recover and also win the fifth round to win the unanimous decision of the judges. After the five-round battle, UFC president Dana White is already thinking about the rematch, but says it is too early to think about a date, as both athletes left the event straight to the hospital.
