Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-06-01, fight not so exciting between Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Smith: it gets two stars (UFC Performance of the Night).
Alexander Gustafsson entered this fight with a professional mma record of 18-5-0 (78% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.4 light heavyweight in the world but he comes off the loss against current #1 light-Hw Jon Jones (via tko in December 2018, Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson 2).

Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2018-12-29, good finish but the rest of the fight was not so exciting: Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson 2 gets two stars.
The black belt in gaidojutsu and former Ufc light-Hw champion Jon Jones entered this fight with a professional mma record of 22-1-0 (68% finishing rate) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since July 29, 2017 when he defeated current #1 Hw and light-Hw Ufc champ Daniel Cormier (but then the result was overturned in a no-contest because Jon ‘Bones’ Jones’ tested positive for turinabol, Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones 2). Jones’ only loss was, in reality, a disqualification suffered against Matt Hamill in 2009 due to multiple “12-6 elbows” (strike brought from a high position toward the floor), since then he has collected 13 consecutive victories and one no-contest beating ‘DC’ Cormier in 2015 (Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier I) and Ovince Saint Preux in 2016 (Jon Jones vs Ovince St Preux).
His opponent, Alexander Gustafsson, has an official record of 18-4-0 (78% finishing rate) and he is also not ranked as he hasn’t fought for more than one year, May 2017, when he defeated Glover Teixeira (Alexander Gustafsson vs Glover Teixeira). Before this bout ‘The Mauler’ Gustafsson had also beat Jan Blachowicz (Gustafsson vs Blachowicz) but in 2015 he had lost two consecutive bouts: against Anthony Johnson (Gustafsson vs Johnson) and Daniel Cormier (via split decision, Cormier vs Gustafsson). In their first fight Jones had won over Gustafsson via unanimous decision (September 21, 2013 – Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson I); this second fight, main event of Ufc 232, is valid for the Ufc light heavyweight title.

Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-10-03, great performance by both fighters: Daniel Cormier vs Alexander Gustafsson gets three stars (UFC Fight of the night).

Review: 2014-03-08, pretty good fight between Alexander Gustafsson and Jimi Manuwa: it gets three stars (UFC Fight of the Night and UFC Performance of the Night). Alexander Gustafsson entered this fight with a professional mma record of 15-2-0 (80% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.4 light heavyweight in the world, last year he fought just once facing and losing to the Ufc champ Jon Jones in a fight valid for the Ufc light heavyweight title (the bout was very close and it was rated four stars by our users =Jon Jones vs Gustafsson).

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. However the fight won UFC Fight of the Night honors and it is really possible to see a rematch since Jones and Gustafsson proved they are the two best light heavyweight fighters in the world! Jon ‘Bones’ Jones (18-1-0, 83% finishing rate) entered as the No.1 light heavyweight in the world while Alexander Gustafsson (15-1-0, 80% finishing rate) entered as the No.6. 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).
