For all we know, Alexander Gustafsson is an ancient Nordic vampire, initially bit by some Swedish war lord hundreds of years ago. That would explain Alexander striking a strong resemblance to that Eric guy from True Blood. If this is true, we've yet to see Gustafsson unleash his vampire abilities inside the Octagon. Perhaps in the future, we'll see him use his 'glamor' skills to charm the judges the next time he goes to a decision. No one has ever witnessed Alexander Gustafsson walk around in the daylight, but we do have a photo of him -- which sort of collapses our entire vampire theory. Dammit, thought we were using science to investigate stuff. Well, I guess you're just going to have to watch this new FlyWin Evolutions highlight video of The Mauler and forget what we we said about all of that vampire nonsense.

Fingers crossed he's given the two fights he needs before fighting Jones. Too great a talent to be rushed to a title shot, but definitely has the potential to give Bones a scrap

He'll never get past Rashad's wrestling.

Exactly why he shouldn't (and probably wont) fight

Machida, Shogun, Hendo, Rashad

The UFC can't really afford to have this dude lose. Jones has already killed everyone else in the picture, and things don't look good for Hendo.

He should wait for his shot. Who the fuck else are they gonna put in there, someone Jones already demolished in the past year?

dude definitely has a badass wolf tattoo on his chest, but he's got nothing for Jon Jones. MMA math.

Jones>Shogun>Machida>T Silva (who was KO'ed in that fight)

My point was that he couldn't finish T Silva, but Machida could. I should have clarified in my orig post.

He's faced almost the exact same competition as Bones when he was totally hyped and was given a title shot.

Bader,Matyushenko,Vera,Hammil(BS L),O'Brien,Bonnar,Gusmao

Silva,Matyushenko,Hammil,TeHuna,Diabate,Davis(L),Hamman

Jones didn't beat anybody in title contention until he beat somebody in title contention.

SST needs to get in touch with his feelings. Gustsfsson is what happened after Sexiyama buttfucked Thor and made him pregnant.

Great prospect but the only fighter that get to stand and trade with Bones are other great wrestlers. Every one else will get thrown to the ground and elbowed to death.

Gustaffsson has to be after Hendo barring any losses in the meantime,Bascia lly by default,Who else at LHW has a winning streak to be worthy?? most of the consesus top ten guys in the UFC LHW divisions are coming off losses or haven't had a recent string of victories.If Bones gets by Hendo all you really have is the Mauler or a fight with Anderson,Or jump to HW.Now if Gustaffson would lose in the meantime...Then shit gets weird.

Would love to see a holmgång with Jones vs Alex. Although Alex is one of my fav fighters and I'm rooting for him all the way to a title shot, he isn't quite there yet imo. 1-2 more fights (Maybe Machida, Bader, Shogun, or a rematch with Davis) then we are talking. WAR MAULER, PRIDE OF SWEDEN!

Think both Davis and Alex have said in interviews that they know that they might face each other again someday, both didn't sound too sad about it.

He's good.. but he really does need some more time before a title fight should even be questioned. And if he really is that great, throw him up against Shogun and see how he does.

Against this kind of fighter Jon would just take him down and elbow the fuck out of him. His ground game/ wrestling is bad. On the feet of course he could win but it won't stay there

88% TD defence so far,albeit not against top of the line wrestlers but,Hamill and Vlad are both good ones..

Good thing he moved his camp to the states, otherwise he'd have no chance.

If Jones takes Gustaffson down, Gustaffson's fucked. If Jones can't take him down, Jones could be in trouble.

Jones obviously has very good wrestling, but he wasn't able to keep Rashad/Rampage down. It's tough, but possible for Gustaffson to stay off his back.

In a year or two, but by then Jones will learn how to fly in the octagon.

Gustafsson is good, but he's gonna need to beat a top 10 guy before I start believing the hype.

I say Give him Rashad, Lyoto, or Bader next.

I have no clue as to why anyone would compare alex to jones, his style is much more similar to machida.
