Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will look to defend his belt for the sixth straight time Saturday night when he steps into the Octagon opposite Swedish hopeful Alexander Gustafsson. The challenger shows promise, having won six straight, and will be the largest man Jones has faced to date, taller in fact than Jones, standing at a sinewy 6’5″.
While some think “The Mauler” has the physical tools to offer “Bones” a challenge inside the cage, for most, the only question is not whether the champ retains his belt, but in what fashion and how quickly he finishes things. And should he retain, Jones would break the record currently held by Tito Ortiz for most consecutive light heavyweight title defenses.
The big question would immediately become whether Jones stays put at light heavyweight or makes what would be a much-anticipated move to heavyweight to take on the likes of Junior dos Santos and champ Cain Velasquez.
Stick here with us for the result, highlights and reaction to Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson.
