The saga of Jon Jones remains ongoing, but if the former UFC light heavyweight champion is cleared to return to active competition without major penalty, fellow 205-pound contender Alexander Gustafsson believes it would be unfair to throw Jones back into the UFC title mix without forcing the embattled American to work his way back up the divisional ladder.
"It wouldn't be fair, giving him a title shot," Gustafsson said Monday on The MMA Hour. "I'm not saying I'm going to get it. I'm just saying, after everything that happened, it's not fair to other fighters too, who've been working their asses off and they've been fighting each other.
