Den regerande mästaren i lätt tungvikt Jon Jones besegrade under lördagskvällen ännu en titelutmanare när han besegrade Glover Teixeira via enhälligt domslut. Under den efterföljande presskonferensen bekräftade UFC:s VD Dana White att svenske Alexander Gustafsson är Jones nästa motståndare.
Gustafsson gets the next fight against Jones. We got to see how that plays out. I don´t know physically how Jones is right now. He just went five hard rounds with a guy who hits hard. He (Jones) looked good, but we will see how he feels.
När pressen ställde frågor till Jones angående kommande returmatchen mot Alex ville mästaren inte svara på frågorna.
I’m not going to talk about what’s going on next right now. I just want to live in the moment and be grateful for what’s happened right now,” Jones said. “I envisioned having a dominant performance, but with that last fight the way it was, I wasn’t sure what kind of performance I was going to have. I was hoping that it was back and I would perform at a high level.
