After one dominant champ’s loss, UFC 165′s Gustafsson says Jones only human

BAD MMA News — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 01:45:00 +0000

Alexander Gustafsson (14-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is a sizable underdog heading into his fight with light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones (18-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC), who is as high as an 8-to-1 favorite to retain his belt when they meet at UFC 165 in September. Gustafsson, though, isn’t one to be fazed by other’s expectations, and given this past weekend’s shakeup in the MMA world, he’s all the more sure that no matter what betting lines say, any fighter has a chance to buck the odds. “We’re all human beings,” he told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “Everyone is beatable, and I’m here to prove everyone wrong, and that’s how it’s going to be.” At the start of this year, the 26-year-old fighter still had distance to travel in the light heavyweight division’s standings.

Glover Teixeira likes his odds against UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones . (In fact, you may be surprised just how heavily he favors himself if they were to fight.) But knowing the champ is likely to fight Alexander Gustafsson next, Teixeira discussed what other matchups pique his interest. Teixeira, who’s won 19 consecutive fights overall and four straight since joining the UFC, awaits his next challenge following a first-round submission victory over James Te Huna this past month at UFC 160. Teixeira (21-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who’s ranked No. 7 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA light-heavyweight rankings , knows he probably needs another win or two to get a crack at the belt, but if a Jones fight actually materialized? “I am very confident,” he said this past weekend in Brazil. “If my next fight was against Jones, for sure I would go in to win. I give myself a 99 percent chance (of winning).” But with fellow contender Gustafsson all but assured the bout, Teixeira is focusing elsewhere
