On Saturday, September 21, 2013 the reigning UFC Light
Heavyweight Champion, Jon Jones (18-1), will defend his title against Alexander Gustafsson (15-1) at UFC
165. Jones is currently the youngest UFC
fighter to capture and defend a title. He
also holds the record for the longest winning streak in lightweight
history. With a win on Saturday, Jones
will surpass Tito Ortiz with the most successful wins in the lightweight
division. So this match up promises to
be a great one, with so much on the line for Jones.
Alexander Gustafsson
is currently ranked as the number one contender for the light heavyweight
division championship title. Just like
Jones, he has experienced only one loss and is looking to prove himself with a
win, breaking Jones’ winning streak and catapulting him into the top echelon of
MMA fighters. Jon Jones is a versatile fighter,using strikes, submissions and his ground game to overcome his opponents. Gustafsson uses his striking to dismantle his competitors, but he will need to have a well rounded game plan if he wants to get a win over Jones.
This bout promises to be action packed and exciting. Both fighters are fighting for notariety, with Gustafsson taking on the taxing role of beating the unbeatable and becoming the new champ, and Jones, retaining his title and making UFC history.
