What the fuck...? Manuwa, hammil, diabate, tehuna were flailing wildly?
Fuck off with that nonsense, son.
Also, if anything, I'd expect gustafsson to win even more convincingly.
Kirin:
Don't get me wrong. I'm not sure I understand the scoring of the first fight. I don't really see how Jones won any of the first three rounds. They weren't big blowout rounds, but I felt Gus won all three of them. Jones did come "sorta" close to finishing in the fourth, but Gus was also winning that round until the last 40 seconds, so I don't know how you score that a 10-8 round, if anyone did. Fifth round was Jones', but also not a 10-8.
The problem I see in a rematch is for Gus to replicate stuffing like 10 out of 11 takedowns. It seems like a LOT to ask. Maybe he can, but that's the sticking point I see.
I also don't like how inactive he's been, It's been a year and half and he's only had one fight since. He isn't injured and he's in the prime of his life, why hasn't he been fighting more? Do you want to be the best or just be the best for one night?
Overall these are not good signs. It has the Sonnen/Anderson feel for me too TS.
I think the big problem for Gus is he won't come into a rematch with a vastly different gameplan. I think he still wants to play a range-y game and strike from the outside and utilize his footwork to make takedowns difficult. Jones on the other hand will come into the fight with a much different gameplan. I think Jones has a better idea of what to expect in a rematch and can plan around it, which could be a big advantage. It seems like a lot of people think Gus can come in and do the same thing he did last time, except now he'll win.

Hasn't he said he's gonna go for the early finish in the rematch?
I don't think he'll play the range game at all.
Gus will always be a ttough fight for Jones, he got taken down by Gus. Outboxed, its different for Jones when he fighs someone his own size and almost on the same level as him, he always enjoys a huge size advantage over his opponents.
Jon didn't know what todo when he started to get outboxed. After the fight he was so fucked up, you can see it when hes walking backstage.
gus through mauling
im betting my house on him
Your ginger bread house?
Gus is the worst possible matchup for Jones... I think the 2nd fight will be a lot like their 1rst.
