Många hade förhoppningar om att titelmatchen mellan Jon Jones och Alexander Gustafsson skulle likna deras första möte i Toronto på UFC 165. Men riktigt så blev det dessvärre inte. Gustafsson blev tidigt skadad av ett knä i ljumsken och sedermera avslutad på marken i den tredje ronden.
Hur var MMA-världens reaktioner på matchen? Många hyllar Jones för sin insats men flera är också kritiska till senaste tidens dopingskandal.
But seriously tho, I gotta take my hat off to @JonnyBones. To still be able to perform under that amount of pressure is incredible

My most likely scenario, is that Jones low kicks his way into clinch range and uses elbows, dirty boxing, and foot sweeps. It would be cool if I were wrong though. #UFC232

Lack of feints from Gus and body shots from Jones doesn’t bode well for Gus. Look for high kicks from Jones. #UFC232
