Review: 2013-09-21, close fight thanks to a great performance and some good single shots by both Jon Jones and Gustafsson but without ground game it is very difficult to give more than three stars.

Jon Jones vs Gustafsson, main event of UFC 165, is valid for the UFC light heavyweight title (Jones’ sixth defense); they also faced each other a second time on December 29, 2018 (Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson 2).
