It's in the ravishing and symmetrical feature producing Swedish genes to be neutral during wartime. We've seen this time and time again over history. That's why Alexander Gustaffson was such a fascinating example of MMA ferocity in finishing all fourteen of his victories without having to ever acknowledge the judges and their wicked opinions. But then a ring rusted Thiago Silva met the Swede in his home country and all of a sudden the once 'Great, White Jon Jones' turned into a slightly more lethal Carlos Condit with a belt within his grasp. What happened? Gustaffson was close to finishing Silva in the opening moments then it seemed to slip away from him.

Props to Gustaffson though, aside from a few stiff shots he was never in much trouble with Thiago (who wore sunglasses indoors BTW) stalking him around the cage. And he gave Silva a neat hematoma towards the end there too, so that was cool, but the only question that remains is: who does he fight next? I wouldn't mind seeing Gustaffson Vs. Gegard Mousasi. How can we make that happen? Does Strikeforce even have a LHW division anymore?

Ignorant UFC translation: Gus picked a slow rusty thiago apart and won, like a smart fighter one...in his BADBOY shorts

Logic much?

Jobb = Job

Varldsmastare = World Master (i.e. World Champion)

Grade schoolers do this shit.

I can't remember the last time I saw someone throw a triple jab in MMA. Gusty is an animal

That's because GSP's been out so long it's hard to recall how long ago he threw four hundred jabs at Koscheck's eye.

That, and Gus is actually on an upward trajectory, rather than flattened out like GSP.

Goldie was saying he saw similarities between Gustafssons style and Bones Jones. IDK what hes smoking but Gustys style reminds me of Anderson

It was worst tattoos in MMA vs best tattoos in MMA (alessio sakara not withstanding.) and worst tattoos won. Thiago Silva is still a scary motherfucker.

P.S. Even though I like Gustaffson and he is good, he would be raped by either Jones/Evans/Hen do/Shogun.

Please, he's too fast for Shogun and Hendo to get in on the inside.

And this fight against Silva was the convincing point for me.

That was a nice dance party... frankly kinda disappointed. A performance like that doesn't deserve a title shot, imo.
