A rematch between Jon Jones e Alexander Gustafson It hasn't even been confirmed by Ultimate, but the bookmakers have come forward and are already accepting predictions for the hypothetical duel. Like the first date, Jon Jones remains as a favorite. The champion pays $0,25 for every dollar wagered. The underdog Gustafsson returns the bettor three times the amount invested in case of victory.

Even with Jones again as the favorite, the advantage is much lower than that seen in the first fight, won by the champion in a unanimous decision by the judges. At the time, Jones paid just US$0,11 for every dollar bet. In turn, Gustafsson could have made several bettors rich if he had won, as his triumph would yield more than six times the amount invested.

PUBLICITY:

Last Saturday (21), in the main fight of UFC 165, Jon Jones won Alexander Gustafson by decision of the judges (48-47, 48-47 and 49-46) and retained the light heavyweight belt. The event was held in Toronto, Canada. The fight was acclaimed by fans, the specialized press and Ultimate managers themselves as one of the best of the year and, as soon as it ended, speculation about a rematch began – although this is not common when the champion defeats the challenger.
