BAD MMA News — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 13:05:13 +0000

During a slow weekend in MMA amidst the Thanksgiving holiday, the UFC has posted some archives of some of its most memorable fights. A proper list would have Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson from UFC 165 right near the top, as the epic light heavyweight championship fight from September 2013 in Toronto still stands as one of the greatest fights in company history, and has already been enshrined in the UFC Hall of Fame. The fight was one of the most epic title bouts in UFC history, with Jones t aking a unanimous decision win in what was, at the time, by far the most competitive bout of his career. Going into the fight, Gustafsson was largely written off as a serious contender. Although Jones would later reveal he barely trained for the fight and was partying in the build-up, Gustafsson produced a stellar effort as the challenger and came close to pulling off a monumental upset

Although the two-time UFC light heavyweight champion has had several close decision wins throughout his career, he never faced more adversity than his memorable first fight against Alexander Gustafsson (18-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC) at UFC 165. Arguably the greatest light heavyweight bout in UFC history, big underdog Gustafsson was more game than Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) likely imagined. He managed to cause a massive gash under Jones’ eye and became the first man to take him down
