Jon Jones He showed once again, in the main fight of UFC 182, why he is considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC. After fighting a great duel, full of rivalry against Daniel Cormier, the champion managed to defeat the challenger in his specialty and defended his reign in the light heavyweight category for the eighth time, a record in Ultimate. However, Jones' beautiful performance didn't please one person: the Swede Alexander Gustafsson.

As soon as the fight was over, Gustafsson took to social media and, through posts on Twitter and Facebook, assured that he was not excited about the champion. “Jon 'Bones' Jones, I'm not impressed with your performance,” the Swede wrote.

Gustafsson and Jones already faced each other at UFC 165, in September 2013. On that occasion, the Swede surprised the champion, imposed his standing game, avoided takedowns and was only overcome in a tight decision by the judges in a triple 48×47, in the North American's toughest battle in the Octagon.
