Source: Alexander Gustafsson wants Jon Jones after he beats Mauricio Rua I'm a huge Gustafsson fan, and I do think he will beat Shogun easily on FOX, but I don't like his chances against Jones. What u guys think? |

I think most of what you say is correct. |

Grimreapers - I think Shogun will win due to experience but if Gustafsson wins how will he deal with JBJ wrestling? |

Is that the same Gustafsson that got submitted by Phil Davis in the first round just 1.5 years ago? |

BoilerBrawnByBeatdown - well at least Jones will fight a legit LHW, but I predict after Jones beats Chael he gets another MW.Agree with this, probably gets Machida or Hendo next. I'd love to see him compete with another lhw that's both highly skilled and big like Jones is

Gustafsson is making a big mistake if he is looking past Shogun already.....

Gus is gonna pick Shogun apart from distance, Shogun is gonna shoot for takedowns and get stuffed, Shogun starts to huff and puff, Gus gets the TKO in round three or scores an easy decision. |

Nucky -BoilerBrawnByBeatdown - well at least Jones will fight a legit LHW, but I predict after Jones beats Chael he gets another MW. pretty sure he means Hendo(who fought at middleweight) and Machida(who doesn't really cut weight at all for 205) |

Shogun is a shell of his former self. That being said. He beats Gus.

UFC on Fox 5 is going to see the return of one legend and the final fall of another, whether thats Penn or Shogun is yet to be seen. if Gus wins hed have to wait until mid-late 2013 to fight for the title, hell have another fight until then. Jones may even have moved up by then. |

Imo Gus is the current hype train. I don't see him ever beating Jones and i don't think he will be able to get past Shogun |

To be honest gustafsson took a few big bombs against thiago silva, and it only takes one from shogun, and even with fucked knees he covers distance well. If he can steer clear gus can either decision shogun or 3rd round tko

good. it looks like he might be overlooking shogun and thinking it will be an easy fight. might be putting some $ on shogun in this fight. |

Well if Hendo wins he will not wait long so if JBJ won't fight in AUG at the latest we may well see Gus VS Hendo or Shogun VS Hendo 2. |

If he wins within the distance (man i wish this fight was 5 rounds...) then i would agree. Maybe regardless, but it depends on how impressive he looks. |
