Jon Jones Calls For Alexander Gustafsson-Daniel Cormier Bout
By FCF Staff
Following Alexander Gustafsson’s stoppage win over Jimi Manuwa at UFC FN 37 Saturday, Jon Jones took to Twitter to propose a fight for the #1 light-heavyweight contender.
While Gustafsson has locked up a rematch with Jones, provided the latter defeats Glover Teixeira on April 26th, the champion offered this idea:
Why not give the winner of Alexander and DC the winner of myself and Glover??

I see DC congratulating Alexander and making comments about waiting his turn now.. I wonder if they're afraid to fight each other?

Jones defeated Gustafsson by unanimous decision in September at UFC 165, in what was one of the year’s best and most competitive championship fights.
