Alexander Gustafsson: Jon Jones ‘can be on rocket fuel,’ I’ll still finish him

Whether it’s in Nevada or California, Alexander Gustafsson is still pumped to be getting another shot at Jon Jones.

“The Mauler” will rematch Jones as scheduled after their light heavyweight championship main event at UFC 232 ran into a slight speed bump. On Sunday, it was reported that the Nevada State Athletic Commission would not be issuing a license for Jones to fight Gustafsson in Las Vegas as was originally planned, so UFC officials decided to move the event at the last-second to Los Angeles where California State Athletic Commission executive officer Andy Foster says Jones has already been cleared compete.
