Sorry Daniel Cormier, but Alexander Gustafsson believes you're not a real UFC champion until you beat Jon Jones

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight No. 1 contender, Alexander Gustafsson, is once again fighting for the title, even if it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to some of the other guys doing work at 205 pounds. But that's okay.

Everything has changed since Jon Jones was suspended and forced to turn in his strap.

Well, everything except the fact that "Bones" is still the best light heavyweight fighter on the planet, according to the towering Swede, who also described the difference (via Fightland) between being the "official" champion and the "real" champion.
