Top UFC light-heavyweight fighter Alexander Gustafsson gave Jon Jones all he could handle when they fought.
Arguably, the closest anyone ever got to defeating Jon Jones, Gustafsson has long since lobbied for a rematch.
Jones though, has been more absent than active over the course of the last three years, due to multiple failed drug tests, out of cage antics that lead to criminal charges and suspensions.
He hasn’t been the poster boy for martial artists, and now Gustafsson is speaking out, and calling for Jones to exit the sport for good.
Here’s Alexander Gustafsson’s official statement on the matter: [Via MMAbetz.se]
Very hard to say something right now before we know the whole story. We can wait and see what the B test says. Should it prove to be true, it’s a pity for our whole sport, sorry for DC who lost his belt against him, sorry for all his fans.
For my part, it’s sad too if he’d been baptized now and be turned off, is someone I really wanted to meet and hit, it’s just Jones. A revamp there is something I really looked forward to and really wanted.
If I’m surprised? No, nothing about that man surprises me anymore. But I do not want to judge him yet, not until we know everything. But that would be right, then it would be best for him to end the sport.
