    judging from the weigh-ins they both look ready especially Jones but I'm hoping for a 3rd round finish from Alexander gustafsson, that's a tough task ahead against the controversial but talented Jon jones

      Jones is a special fighter but if someone is going to beat Jones in the LHW division, Gustafsson has the best shot. Gus is just as tall as Jones, great footwork and movement, very good boxing and fast hands. However, I still think Jones will win and I wouldn't be suprised if Jones puts on a masterful performance. No matter who wins, it should be a great fight.

      I'm also looking forward to see Nunes vs Cyborg. I hope Nunes pulls the upset and knocks out the beast.

        Gustafson always chokes in big fights.
        He has had plenty of chances and number one contender fights and failed to cash in.
        He just doesn’t have that extra gear to become champ.
        Even if he somehow got the win, Cormier would probably take it off him the next fight.

          The first fight was a good one. Hopefully this one stands up to it.

            I don't care about MMA. This is a boxing site.

              Dana White can eat a whole **** for letting Jon Jones get away with failing a drug test. If Gustafsson suffers critical injuries, it's on his shiny ass head.

                This is a tough fight for Jones after a long layoff.

                Gustafsson almost pulled off the upset in their last match.

                Jones also looked very rusty against St Preux when he came back last time.

                  I think given the 1 1/2 year layoff that Gustafsson will have the edge this time.
