For the first time in just 17 months, arguably the UFC's greatest fighter graces the Octagon again as Jon"Bones" Jones has his highly anticipated rematch against Alexander"The Mauler" Gustafsson for the light heavyweight championship at UFC 232. The former winner, Jones, won the first fight back in UFC 165 in 2013 and can be a -300 favored with this struggle with the challenger, Gustafsson, coming back at +230. Odds Analysis The odds are a lot tighter than they were the first time that Jones and Gustafsson fought over five decades back as Jones closed as a -800 favorite because fight with Gustafsson coming back at +550. The fight was extremely close with many believing the Sweden native edged out the New Yorker to claim the championship, but the judges saw it in favour of Jones for a unanimous-decision victory. A lot of people would jump on that Bones has tested positive for performance enhancers in two of his last three fights, both against Daniel Cormier, also did not look like himself when he had been"clean" against Ovince Saint Preux. In the OSP fight, though, Jones outstruck his opponent 111-58 and landed three takedowns to get a unanimous-decision triumph. Another area of concern is a very long layoff to the former champ but that is not a element in this fight as Gustafsson has been out longer than Jones coping with injuries. I believe that the opening odds are right where they should be and I would not be surprised to find the line move just a little bit in Gustafsson's favor. Recently, Jones had a test that showed a few turinabol, the material that he was suspended for 15 months for, still in his stuff. The Nevada State Athletic Commission didn't have sufficient time to review all the science behind this so the fight was transferred to The Forum in Inglewood, California as their commission has been dealing with this drug when it comes to Jones for the last year and a half. USADA has stated this wasn't a brand new ingestion of this banned substance and therefore are letting him compete. Slimming down Jones vs Gustafsson II Jones (-300) is a very creative and gifted fighter, using a high-level battle IQ combined with above-average wrestling. Bones has shown to a few occasions (his first fight vs Gustafsson) that the center of a champion as he has endured a lot of harm but continues pushing ahead en route to a 22-1 record with his only loss being a disqualification. The 31-year-old's last bout saw him knock Daniel Cormier out with a head kick, but the struggle was overturned into a no contest following a failed drug test. Gustafsson (+230) is an exceptional fighter with excellent cardio who doesn't have a difficulty rising to the occasion. As stated previously, his first scrap with Jones was an epic war that left many wondering whose hand would be raised in the end of their 25 minutes. The Mauler put at a similar attempt against Daniel Cormier at UFC 192, but once again came up empty-handed. The Sweden native only has two other losses on his album, a entry loss to Phil Davis in his second UFC fight along with a knockout in the hands of this ever-dangerous Anthony Johnson at 2015. The 31-year-old hasn't entered the Octagon since his dominant knockout victory over Glover Teixeira in May of 2017. Jon outstruck Gustafsson 137-114 in their very first meeting while each fighter landed a takedown. Both fighters were left bruised, battered and bloodied but it was Jones who left his hands raised. Ever since, The Mauler was calling for a rematch while Bones went on to conquer three other challengers, such as Daniel Cormier twice. It will be interesting to see what developments each fighter has made over the last year and a half. Obviously, Gustafsson was dealing with injuries, while Jones has been working on his craft while on suspension. The New York native said that he did not train for his first bout with the Sweden native and that's the reason why it was so close. We'll find out whether he was telling the truth on December 29 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada to get UFC 232. Read more: basketball teams nba
