I like to hear the opinion and get to a discussion before the fight.

The UFC as expected preached the reach thing which is bullshit and most of the MMA media dismissed. They dismissed to the point that looks that Gustaf is lesser contender than Sonnen or Glover.

But what are your thoughts in the fight? Do you feel there's a chance for an upset?

I think the thing that I can count towards Gustafsson is that he is the first "rising" contenders that Jones is facing. JBJ made his career by crushing an era of MMA and sending everyone to a big mess of rematches. The entire UFC LHW ranking is made of people already past their prime and that had a championship belt in their careers, except Glover, Alex and Phil.

I won't argue that Jones right now is better than Gustaf, he is. But Gustaf is still growing and evolving as a fighter while the others already reached their technical pinnacle.

What do you think?

is hosting a fight rewatch thread for Jones vs Gustafsson at UFC 165 ahead of their long awaited rematch.

From Hunter:

The "live thread" will be posted at . The idea is to have everyone rewatch the fight close to simultaneously - then vote on the poll that will be included in the post on how they scored the fight. We'd also ask you to leave a comment with more detail on how you scored it, and your thoughts on the fight overall.

Hope to see as many of you as possible there!

Another thread will go up at that time to start the events. Have fun!
