So, Alexander Gustafsson signed a new deal with the UFC and Jon Jones wasted zero seconds in crushing his spirit with a simple tweet: You will never beat me. Damn. It brings a tear to the eye, doesn’t it? That these old rivals have drifted so far apart after The Great Encounter, yet still carry a flame? This thing won’t soon go away, not after what happened. Not after all they put each other through.
Back in 2013, after going toe-to-toe for five rounds at UFC 165 in Toronto, Gustafsson posted a classic shot of him standing next to Jones at the hospital.
