When he fought Jones, here is the reminder of what the pros thought after the fight(asides from the biased worthless opinions of Sherdogers since none is a pro):


FOY @ufc

Great fight!

Chuck Liddell (@ChuckLiddell) September 22, 2013

Guys just remembering that in a close decision the champion keeps the belt because the challenger must have a clear victory to win the fight

— Junior Dos Santos (@junior_cigano) September 22, 2013
I'm sorry but that's bullshit.

— michael (@bisping) September 22, 2013

WooooooW!!! Now that was a fight. Had me on the edge of my seat

— Cowboy Cerrone (@Cowboycerrone) September 22, 2013
Champions! Wow. Both of them are champions. Best fight I've seen live

— TJ Grant (@TJ_Grant) September 22, 2013

Daniel Cormier (@DC_MMA) September 22, 2013

Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) September 22, 2013
Wow!! What a Fin fight!!!

— chad mendes (@chadmendes) September 22, 2013

I had it 3-2 Jones. 2-4-5 for Jones. Alex just needed a bit more gas in the 4th and 5th round.

Great fight by #Jones & #Gustafson but no way Jones won that fight. Draw...maybe but I feel Gustafson won 3rnds to 2.#UFC165 #ufc #MMA

Josh Barnett (@JoshLBarnett) September 22, 2013

"@notcdub: @dc_mma how'd you have it DC?" 3-2 Jones, very close fight. 2,4,5. Gus had 4 until he got hurt with elbow to end the round.

— Daniel Cormier (@DC_MMA) September 22, 2013
"@Tucker5463: @dc_mma same way I had it. Do you think most people saw it for gus because of there dislike for Jones?" Could be.

— Daniel Cormier (@DC_MMA) September 22, 2013

Cung Le (@CungLe185) September 22, 2013

Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) September 22, 2013

Gustaffson is a goddamned warrior. Props.

Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) September 22, 2013

Alexander Gustafsson & Jon Jones just put on one of the best fights in @ufc history. #ufc165

Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) September 22, 2013
To recap: I clearly had Gustafsson for rnd 1 & 2. Had Jones winning 3, 4 & 5. In close rnds, u have to assume rnds will go to champ. #ufc165

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) September 22, 2013


Wow WTF judges u suck something that I can't say. You suck. You are the reason im scared to NOT have a second job. U suck. #BULLSHIT

Kenny Robertson (@170Kenny) September 22, 2013

Alex.got robbed imo

Kelvin Gastelum (@KelvinGastelum) September 22, 2013

The judge who scored that fight 49-46 Jones should be fired right away... not tomorrow, tonight!!! #UFC165

— Akira Corassani (@AkiraCorassani) September 22, 2013


Very rarely do u finish watching fights and think both guys elevated themselves. These two did it tonight.Would love to see them fight again

— Daniel Cormier (@DC_MMA) September 22, 2013

Well, people are going to argue who won this fight but one thing they won't disagree about is this IS fight of the night, maybe in history!

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) September 22, 2013
Jones is still amazing as people thought, people just didn't realize how good Gustafsson truly is! #ufc165#DontGetItTwisted

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) September 22, 2013

Thank you for everyone support. I felt a little off my game tonight but I learned alot about myself and I promise to come back better.

— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) September 22, 2013


I think that was fight of the year... So far... The year ain't over yet though!

— Matthew brown (@iamtheimmortal) September 22, 2013
 
I always knew Gus fans were desperate, but this is even sadder than the other threads.
 
Just a reminder: This has been posted 3525 times, and I counted.
 
I like how he copies and pastes the same things over and over to make it look like there are more.
 
I certainly would have shed zero tears if Gus was awarded the decision.

He beat Jon to a bloody, swollen mess, and even out-wrestled him. But Jones showed great heart with the way he fought in the championship rounds. It was a very close fight in the end.

Fight was a freakin WAR.
 
It was a close fight, not a robbery. The first 3 rounds were Gus' best in the fight, but they were very close and you could just as easily score a couple of them in Jones' favor. Round 4 wasn't so clear cut either, Jones had Gus hurt bad in the last seconds but people forget Alex was pretty comfortably in control of the round up until that point. Rd 5 is the only one where I don't think there's any room for controversy, and even there Gustafsson put up a decent effort. I thought Gus won watching it live, maybe partly due to the bias of never really having seen Jones look vulnerable before.
 
I don't do this bullshit.

I see the fight one way. You may see it another. But only three people count. The official decision is the only thing I ever go by.

Whether I agree with it or not. I'm not carrying around someone else's baggage the rest of my life. It's not worth it.
 
Let it go, man. Gus just doesn't have what it takes to be champion. The mental fortitude is not there. He spends his days thinking about retirement, his nightclub business, and driving his Porsche.
 
Jones 1 & 5
Gus 2, 3 & 4 (the 4th round was the tricky one imo. Gus controlled 4 minutes of it but the most significant blows and damage came from Jones)


DC is a smart guy. How he scored it 49-46 leaves me scratching my head.
 
Will gus fanboys ever get over this?
 
Gus is 0-2 against other Light Heavyweight champions/contenders
 
Jones 1 & 5
Gus 2, 3 & 4 (the 4th round was the tricky one imo. Gus controlled 4 minutes of it but the most significant blows and damage came from Jones)


DC is a smart guy. How he scored it 49-46 leaves me scratching my head.
gus almost kot finished in the 4th round no way he wins that round, no one did anything significant in the 4th it was just pretty much tit for tat then jones hit him with the elbow and damn near finished him
