True Gladiotor fight! Great fight!
I want to see again the real champ Jon Jones!!! I can’ believe that Bader will fight for the title soon, I think he is overrated
are you kiddin me, listen to every announcer and they will point out that guss carried rounds 2, 3, and 4. my lord, does Gus have to be black to get the vote from the judges or is he just not a a good money pull from sweden…
He lost fair and square. Why are you bringing in shade to this?
Broadcast: Joe keeps yelling “He hurt him!!”
Reality: *DC keeps pressing forward unflinchingly/unphased*
There was a lot of forced overexcitement in general at every moment Gustafsson had ANY momentum but zero mention of how many times DC forced him to outright turn his back and just run away!
