One of the most hyped rematches in Ultimate Fighting Championship history takes places later this month when Alexander Gustafsson locks horns with former champion Jon Jones for the soon-to-be vacant light heavyweight title, and “The Mauler” believes his opponent comes into the bout with some self-doubt.
The pair previously met back at UFC 165 on Sept. 21, 2013, where “Bones” won via a unanimous yet contentious decision in a fight that turned out to be his sternest test to date.
“The Mauler” spoke to MMANYTT.se and claimed that Jones’ reaction during the first pre-fight UFC 232 press conference where he pushed Gustafsson after both fighters squared off was “not really like him” and believes his actions showed some insecurity on his part.
