Dana White överraskad att Anthony Johnson besegrade Alexander Gustafsson så lätt

Alexander Gustafsson förlorade under helgen sin tredje match i karriären, då han slogs ut av Anthony Johnson vid ”UFC on FOX 14”. Matchen tog slut efter 2 minuter och 15 sekunden, och en som är förvånad över att det gick som det gick är organisationens VD Dana White.

Detta hade Dana att säga om det hela, via ”The Jim Rome Show”:

It’s crazy. If you look at Anthony Johnson, Anthony Johnson started at 170 pounds, right? And this isn’t like boxing where if you move up a weight class, it’s three pounds. You move up a weight class here, it’s 15 pounds. So he goes from 170 to 185. It’s not like he was a world-beater at 170 or a world-beater at 185.

If you know anything about fighting, every time you move up, you lose a little bit of knockout power. It’s been the exact opposite for this guy. Him beating Alexander Gustafsson the way he did makes no sense whatsoever. This is a guy (Gustafsson) who went five hard rounds with Jon ‘Bones’. Many people believe he won that fight, and many people believe Jones won the fight. For [Johnson] to come out and knock out the guys in the 205-pound division that he is, it’s unbelievable and I am very excited for the fight with him and Jon Jones.

If you look at how he went in there and cut off the Octagon and went right after Gustafsson and started dropping bombs on him, I think that’s what he’s going to try to do to Jones, too. The difference is, Jones has many, many tools. He’s good at kicking that front leg. He’s got spinning elbows. He’s got the range and the distance.

Mötet mellan Anthony och Jon Jones ryktas äga rum vid UFC 187, en gala som går av stapeln den 27 maj.
