Nobody has ever fought Jon Jones like Gustafsson did. That guy was Beast.
I agree
@@user-ju6kx5hp1w yeah prolly true
Both are equal in my eyes expect Jones had that last 60 second power reboot, straight machine. Even that being said I would say that was a 99 to 98 fight. Good on both of them for putting on an amazing fight for a sport they love
Dom Reyes fought him better
@@NoMoneyHeadsUp reyes didn't send jones to the hospital
Everything about this fight was perfect. The performances by both men, the commentary, the crowd, the atmosphere. A true classic
that 4th round was ...............
everything but the decision
The Assassin Creed vibes as the ads and classic 2013 vibes all around feeling like ufc2
perfect city to Toronto, Canada
Great fight BS decision!
Jon jones getting his leg held and then doing a flip to get out of it and then getting back up before Gustafsson can react is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Saw that in the second round. Jon is just built different this is one of those fights where close fights aren’t robberies. The fight could’ve went either way but I definitely had Jon winning
It's just a variable of a Granby Roll. You see it in almost every college wrestling match.
@@unclerico7271 but not so often in ufc
@@MuscleMan400 I think Jon slightly won. Most sources had Jon winning. About 60% did, but very very close, which is why it could have went either way. Jones was the champ though and winning at the end so he deserved it for sure. He didn't even train for this fight. He was drinking and partying. When didn't know his opponents, he wouldn't take it seriously and not train a lot of the time. Alex was not known much at all here. After this though, everyone knew him.
He different bruh
This was the greatest fight ive ever seen in my life. Gustafsson is a beast. It's ashame someone had to lose. I dont have the words to describe how much i loved this fight and the fighters.
Bit of an exaggeration 😂
@@Z4NKA1not really. You just don’t have passion for the sport.
@@Z4NKA1That's your opinion and it doesn't matter.
@@e13kid it’s an extreme exaggeration, you haven’t watched any fights if you think that
This was a great fight, but I don't think anything will top Forrest Griffin against Stefan Bonner.
Amazing how people are still watching this match even as recent as hours ago...What a classic
Its my favorite fight ever, I get goosebumps in those last 2 rounds every time. Especially that “so you wanna be an ultimate fighter” line it’s insane. I just wish I could of been in that stadium man.
@@ceijnakhan2502 I agree man I agree...Mike Goldbergs commentary game was elite.
First time watching it just now. Amazing
Jon Jones lost this fight in reality regardless of what the score cards say.
Nn
Gustafson's performance was incredible
@Hunter Force lol so what's that mean? He fought his way through 5 rounds does that one thing negate his achievements in the first 4 rounds or something?
@@ajcastellon5903 No he got robbed I think we all can see that...
Extremely
@@ROMSradio Jon Jones won every round factually. He did not get robbed, you got let down lol.
@@1mnot4rrogant90 No I watched the whole thing. I am more of a fan of Jon Jones I think he's probably the GOAT but Gustafson whooped him on this one man sorry. I think you're just black and it's hard for you to admit that a white boy whooped your mans!!!!!
That left by Gustafsson at 19:04 was one of the most beautiful counters I've ever seen in my life.
Agree 💯💯
23:01 look at that exchange and how the counter does more damage than Jons initial punch.
Years later and that 49-46 is always something else to me
Gustafson took the first 3 rounds, how is it a 48-47? He even did a fkn great job at the last round, even though he's exhausted as shit he still had more shots than jones. And the 49-46... man that's tough
@@xvor_tex8577The 49-46 was insult to injury and sadly yet another example of how horrible and inconsistent judges are. I saw Gustaf win the first 3 rounds, lose the 4th after a late push from Jon, and lose the 5th due to his exhaustion. This is how I saw it 10 years ago, and I see it the same today as 3-2. 10 years later and no question Jon is the better fighter, but Gustaf was the better fighter on this night. Not even one judge scored in favor of Gustaf. Robbed.
I think jon clearly won 5, stole 4 late and won either round 2 or 3 I’d lean towards round 2 though
@@Sentinel_ICBM Jones won. Gustaffson was about to be knocked out
@@xvor_tex8577 I had Gus only winning round 2.
I feel so sorry for gus he’s been the closest to anyone to nearly win a title, I believe he’s the best fighter to never win a title
He’s up there for sure, any other era he would be a champ but he’s unlucky that jones is competing at the same time as him
Jim Green i‘d give that spot to ferguson if we disregard interim titles
@@ap6342 yup
he got robbed of the win..broad artificial night light
I would put Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson in that category as well.

@@BarkingShark bf is luv
I never noticed that lol
ive rewatched this fight so many times and it never gets old. such a good match up
I've rewatched this fight many times too and the judges screwed Gustavson. He won the first 3 rounds, the 4 was close and Jones won the 5.. Clear robbery
@@ThatNorwegianGuy-Yeah, ima Jones fan and I can tell he got robbed. Cmon now...
What we clearly see here , is the benefits of anabolic steroids
@@ThatNorwegianGuy- what you mean by close 4th ?
@@ThatNorwegianGuy- Very biased. You can easily say Jones won, although I suspect your opinion. Jones won the 4th very very easily. How can you say the 4th was close, but the first 3 rounds weren't? You can definitely give Jones round 2 or even other early rounds. You can't ever give Alex round 4, that isn't even arguable. Most sources had Jon winning, about 60%. I respect anyone saying Alex won though, but don't be biased on the rounds, be real. It was a very very good fight. Jon barely knew him at the time, and didn't train once, which was a mistake. They gave Alex a rematch later for good reason, he deserved it. When Jon trained though, it was very very brutal for Alex and his fans unfortunately, but I think many saw that coming.
Unbelievable. I hardly know anything about the UFC, but it isn't hard to tell this was a legendary moment in UFC history.
Indeed
jon jones lost period.
who else watches this fight knowing the outcome yet still rooting for gustafsson anyway?
Right. It's heartbreaking. Watched it all the way through for the first time. Felt like Jones only got 4 and 5. Blown away it was unanimous. Either way one of the best fights in UFC history.
Faisal Khan did more then win the second
@Faisal Khan Significant strikes dont mean you win a round. Otherwise Reyes would have won against Jones.
Gus won that fight.. That judge should be fired who scored 49-46 jones

@@HugoStiglitz88 cope harder boy
I wonder if these dudes knew they were about to have one of the most exciting fights in UFC history. WHAT A SHOW THEY PUT ON. This happened 10 years ago today!
that’s incredible. both fighters pushed so far past their limit and forced to simply stand and throw strikes back and forth, fight for the decision. was really rooting for gustafsson but man jon jones is just so good at staying focused and not letting his guard slip in those later rounds. and then his kicks were just wearing down gustafssons movement, that being his strongest asset. what a fight.
Gustafsson left my jaw dropped, he is amazing, just eats those kicks and elbows while still sending out absolute haymakers.
But Jones was more amazing
@@kyoakland so?
@@kyoakland He aint deserve the win.
Yes
@@kyoakland LMAO no
Jones gets taken down for the first time ever. Immediately eye pokes gustafsson.
Yea when the game was good. Before EA sports ruined it
@Abc C jesus!
@Xftbllplyr "An eye for an eye"
jones utilizes his max reach by keeping fingers extended sometimes he misfires and pokes an eye🤣
they both had fingers out. plus guys poked him in the rematch.
I support jon. Went into watching this supporting jon. But the longer the fight went on the more I lowkey rooted for Gustafson. Man fought from the heart. Retreated but never quit. Felt pain but kept fighting. Love and respect.
tactical retreats lol. some ppl talk shit on him for those but it's like.. whats the alternative? stand there against the cage and get hit with a a flying knee or spinning back elbow from jon jones? i dont think so. it's a viable strategy against jones, everyone knows what jon is capable of when he pushes forward and your back is almost up against the cage. you know some wild, potentially fight ending strike is in bound.
I've tried to be as unbiased in the watching of this fight many times. I still have Gus winning the first 3 rds. The 2nd was close, but Gus just looked to have the advantage in the striking, landing the better punches and accumulating more damage.
Even in the 4th rd although Jon landed some beautiful spinning attacks, Gus appeared more tired than he was hurt. He still owned 80% of that round.
A lot of Jon's kicks were checked throughout and imo with minimal effect.
Two legends, but Gus won this fight.
I try to be unbiased too, and I have Jon winning, but I can see how you have Gus winning the 2nd. I feel like 60% had Jon winning, this was an extremely close fight, and it could be argued that either one of them won. I'm not sure the judges would have given it to him anyway, just based on the fact Jon was getting the better of him at the end, and they want you to show that you could have continued on and won that fight vs the champion. At least you're unbiased though. So many were biased in favor of either Jon or Alex, and they weren't watching the fight properly. Glad you were fair in your assessment.
jon controlled 60 % of round 1 but i think gustafon take down gave him the edge and the striking was pretty even
Jon clearly one round two with the consistent striking and a couple big kicks gus did nothing with the takedown
what a lot of people don't account for is the damage that Jon is doing with his kicks especially in the 1st round. basically landed 5 oblique kicks in a row in that round
Thank you

This fight is so technical it’s crazy. The only man to put Jon jones on defense and the cardio to continue the pace of jones. Best opponent of Jones by far
But Jones still delivered more hit to Gustaffson right? What impresses me more is how on earth that Gustafson survived that all.

@@sakhrproz9334 That fight was definitely not going his way in the 5th round though, and had it gone on he was done.

Guston won this fight but got robbed... This is the only one is his fault Jon Jones the best
I think anyone who won would be a better example.
What we clearly see here , is the benefits of anabolic steroids
@@danielwest8927 I think most disagree. I think about 60% have Jones winning this. You can take a look at the mma decisions after the fight from real sources that know how judge, and most had Jones winning, but some had Alex winning as well. I can definitely see it both ways. I don't know how either side can say definitely, because this was a close fight if you look at it without bias. Jones likely deserves it because he was the champion and get the better of Alex at the end big time.
This is an all time classic.

Must have watched this fight 10 times. Keep coming back to it every year or so! 2 Killers!
And again. Jon did take it just, the way he kept pressing forward even at the end and seeing Gus slowing down is probably why the judges went with Jon. To be the champ, you really need to make it a clear win against the champ. Again amazing fight. Jon is something else.
judges got blinded by one of jons eye pokes
They kept an eye on them
😂HELL NAH🤣
You can hear them yelling "poke him in the eye" right before he does it.
Facts man
SERIOUSLY
“You’re both sticking your fingers out there.”
“Yeah okay, Big John, but only one of us has a trophy case full of the eyeballs of damn near every person we’ve ever fought.”
Right? 1 person is *notorious* for eye pokes. It's no secret. Gus takes Jon down and Jon is so pissed he has to start pulling out the eye pokes _immediately_ afterwards.
With the situation that just happened that should be blatant cheating. You can tell in Jon's body language even. It's frustrating that someone can be such a grown up freaking brat and still allowed to win
Why the fuck was Big John standing behind the fighters' backs so much too? He should be parallel to them, not looking at one of their backs. He even gets in the way at a few points.
@@whitestguyuknow that’s too wrong lol
Yea so as israel ahdisanya in every fight lol danno wat is it with champions an eye pokes

Split decision at best and whoever scored 49-46 is on the same drugs that Jones is

@@KeiKeiP nahhhh I was a fan of his, actually in awe of his skills. And then it was discovered that he was a doper. I don't care what he does from this point on, the only reason that he is still relevant is because the UFC needed him and wanted it to go away.
@@KeiKeiP and like I stated, I could see him winning this fight in a split decision. I wouldn't like that result but it wouldn't have been robbery. A 49-46 judging in Jones favor means that somebody needs to be fired.....plain and simple.
Gustafson won this fight. Complete bullshit!
What gets me is in every decision in a championship fight, there's always this 1 judge who would give the current champ a 49-46 no matter how the champ performs. It's bullshit. This is coming from a Jon Jones fan.
yeah...wtf is that about. its laughable and so off point like in the Jon Jones Vs Dom Reyes fight!. And I love Bonesy too but It´s an insult to the loser to call either of those fights 49-46!
Noticed this as well
It’s rigged when it comes to decision, I stopped watching ufc for this reason and Francis would 100% knock the lane jones whose only been dominating light heavyweight bc of his reach advantage. He will still lose at heavy weight bc of the reach advantage is being gone but Frances would have knocked him out so that judges could not help Jone with there bullshit decision

@@nicholastown2779Agreed 👍
my favorite ufc fight of all time
First time seeing Jon get taken down, regardless if he was right back up, that singular moment brought a sense of anyhing can happen. That was a brief but powerful few seconds. Especially with Jon having the blood roll down his face too. Not a single other person Jon ever fought in the UFC presented him the sort of potential for trouble as Gustaffson did. Nobody. It was almost as if he was fighting his physical equal but a guy with exceptionally different style that Jon was used to. Alex had that special combinstion of technique style talent power etc that made it possible for him to literally take that belt from Jon. That couldve just as easily occured instead of Jon winning. He had the potential to take the belt that night, that in and of itself makes him a champion in many peoples books. Stone cold killer
This fight took part of Alex's soul, my man put his life on the line for this!

Gustafson is incredibly tough to be taking all those kicks, insane.
As a Jon Jones fan, that 49-46 score was insane. Gustafsson had an amazing fight and boxed really well. The jabs were coming in plentiful. I could even see Alex winning the fight but I can see Jones getting Round 1 for significant kicks. Rounds 2 and 3 were Alex rounds easily. He almost won the 4th until Jon rocked him at the end of it. Really amazing fight. But definitely not 49-46 lol
I know I never watched this fight till now and just dropped my jaw that one of the judges scored that
@@nateschiro4731 bro I thought gus had the fight already won when the 4th started, he won the first 3 easily imo and the 4th too if that last 30 sec didn't happen
Gustafsson won vs eyepoke roid jones
alex won round 1 also
@@troycrann3933 fr when the stat popped up head strikes 88-18 near the end of round 4 i thought there’s no way alex shoulda lost
Who else has watched this fight many times but will watch it again...
Me incredible fight
Gotta be the sixth time 😂🤦
@@alexwatson4931 I'm on about 7 or 8 now after watching this
One of my favorite 205 fights, great boxing from Gus and a gutsy comeback from Jones...
I actually Masturbate Watching this Fight!

Top 5 of the ufc fights Gustafsson vs Jones 🔥
This was, to me, the fight that brought all the best elements out of JJ's arsenal.
This is my favorite fight of all time. Jones was pretty much invincible, and Gustafson took him to the limit.
How can Jones be invisible? Gustafson clearly won this fight😂
@@BryonJrBrand No Jones definitely won, but it was a great fight.
@@BryonJrBrand They are saying Jones was invincible prior to this fight, which is true. Gus showed that Jones wasn't invincible, and took him to the limit
@@BryonJrBrand bro if another round happened than gustafson was laying down there
Neither clearly won the 1st fight, which is why you have people arguing, but most mma outlets scored it for Jones, which is saying something, and we all know how the 2nd fight turned out when Jon actually trained.
Gustafsson won this fight and I'll die on that hill. Jones basically even admitted it in his HoF speech. The fact that one judge scored it 49-46 tells you all you need to know about these judges.
cry about it, jones embarassed him in the second fight.
@@mudasir6738 hahahaha
@@mudasir6738 How...? Jones was terrified to stand with him after this first fight and had to shoot for takedowns to best him...Jones got the win but it's not as impressive considering he had to shoot. He's known for his stand up and was/is regarded as one of the greatest strikers in the history of the UFC...yet he knew he couldn't stand with Gus and had to shoot.
@@antonduhgr8835 bro literally delete your comment... Jones is known for his Greco Roman style of wrestling and that’s what he used to win... he isn’t just known for his standup you absolute casual, go watch boxing if u wanna see standup.
@@mudasir6738 Just the fact that you are actually so challenged by what I said you felt the need to fall back on calling me a casual tells me all I need to know about you. You have a good one.
This is my first time watching this fight. what and ending to the forth round! Damn
These warriors put their hearts out there, 1st round already Alex had Jon's lips swollen and a cut, Jon knew this fight was gonna be different when he went back to corner. Legendary fight much respect always
Rewatching Jon really invested in damaging the lead leg which slowed his movement down big time. Leg kicks are finally getting the appreciation they deserve
for sure, small legs means he can fire multiple like he does, would love to see a prime jones v izzy
Yet he should have lost
Idk this fight wasn't really a great example of what effective leg kicks can do. Gustafsson legit ate those kicks, and stayed light on his feat for 3 rounds. Didn't seem like the kicks slowed him down in the end, more so he got totally gassed by the fifth.
You are no doctor. Chiropractor is pseudoscience and is not scientific and there is no doctorade in such its all bullshit.. look at the creator of chiropractic HAHAHA it's pure bullshit he was a magnetic healer puuuuuuuuuuure bullshit. YOU ARE A FRAUD
This was 8 years ago
Bullshit. Even Jones was surprised...how the hell do they count the shots, on their fingers?
Narrative...
Not like it matters jon actually trained the second time kicked his ass with ease
It's not boxing, they don't just count the punches
He looks surprised when they announce his knockouts too
@@caelahrens9767 ...as did the Victor .
It’s 2024 I’m getting into ufc and this is the greatest fight I’ve seen.
Awesome fight 🔥
You can hear the crowd getting mad by the decision
Jon "eye poke" Jones. Blows my mind, not even a split decision? Insane
Jones won rounds 2,4,5. And had the most significant moment in the fight and had octagon control whole fight. He definitely won
@@Timma-ss8rx I had Jones 10-9 Rounds 1, 3, & 5, but I feel ya.
Agreed
@@UnexpectedWonderI'd give him round 5 no matter what and probably round 4 but idk about 3
@@Timma-ss8rx Alex dominated the 4, but that 30 final seconds....
This was such a sick fight, don't see this kind of skill anf fight iq nowadays in the light heavyweight division sadly
Looking back now, he deserved to become champion more than retaining the belt. It was just the momentum swing at the end of the 4th which ultimately won the fight
I know it’s almost 10 years, but I still personally feel robbed on behalf of Gustafson
dude me too
Dude there was no way Gustaffson was robbed
you're just white and mad a black fighter whooped a yt boi
@@slickrick2420 cuz that makes sense
@@vaderentertainment8879 Thank you ... His number 1 weapon of choice this bout was 'reach advantage'.
Jones beautifully assassinated this man, getting off signature bombs back too back IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS might I add.
When I heard 49-46 I thought to myself - "well we have a new champion, and it's justified", but when Jones raised his arms, I was so disappointed. Alex won the fight, no doubt.
Cap
cap gus was in trouble and running way too much for judges liking. and still!!
@MÄŅIX i watched the fight 100x, gustaffson didnt win lol, jon jones kicked the fuck out of him, gustaffson did amazingly well and showcased his fast hands, but jon had him badly hurt in the 4th. Jon won 2-4-5 and its not even that hard to tell.
@MÄŅIX im not crying and im not even a jones fanboy, I say he lost the reyes fight, but if you can explain how gus won those rounds here than ok. It definitely wasnt that controversial imo and nowhere near a robbery lol.
@ŘĘÂŁĐĖĄĽ Jones won 1,4,5 facts
one of the greatest fights of all time ,itgotmehooked with the ufc
Still to this day after watching this fight at least 5 times including when it was live, I still do not know how the judges unanimously selected Jones as the winner!
Jones rounds 2, 4, and 5..
Gus definitely won round 2
@@ryannelson9226 How all he did was stuff takedowns and dance around every time Jones hit him..
@@mxbblife_mu oh so you missed all the times jones got punched clean and kicked and elbowed and the nasty cuts jones got ?
@@mxbblife_mu Gustafsson dominated round 4, he should of had that in the bag.
Either Gustafsson won or call it a Draw- but no way did Jones win.
Jon won 1,4 and 5 round 1 just having more volume and more landed strikes takedown doesnt mean much when the other guy gets up 3 seconds later, also Jon walked Gus down the entire fight from start to finish, octagon control is literally in how the fight is judged. You are incorrect.
Even if they did have it as a draw they’re always gonna give it to the champion
No lol I hate Jon but unlike me your hate for him clouds your judgement
@Raccy By effective striking Jones obviously wins because he's the only one who landed significant damaging blows that showed a danger of finishing their opponent. The headkicks and elbows were huge.
Jimmy Tweedale let’s take a moment to be thankful that you aren’t a judge. Idk which fight you were watching but round 1 was the only round that jones was not even close on the scorecards. No way Jones won round 1.
