RogerJones620 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Everyone has been speculating that he would get a title shot soon, so why is Dana White having to go after Middle Weights to take on Jon Jones? Does Gustaffson have a good reason for not stepping up, or is the Lightheavy weight division really that weak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fobar Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Gustaffson is the other side of the world with contractual obligations that mean he cannot make the fight at 151. A few others have nothing lined up and didnt offer, but props to the MW's that did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondsout Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I don't think Dana asked Gus to step in. He went for more experienced boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying, when Dana has to go to the Middle Weight division to find fighters, and there are a lot of Light Heavyweights who claim to want a title shot, it really makes me question their backbone. As far as how many fights Gustaffson has? 15. Jon Jones had like what, 8 ? when he got his title shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ is exceptional fighter, Gus is not ready either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
