Alexander Gustafsson Calls Out Jon Jones, Let's Rematch!
Alexander Gustafsson Calls Out Jon Jones ... Let's Rematch!
He's still got another month on the bench, but fighters are already trying to book a fight with Jon Jones -- starting with UFC star Alexander Gustafsson!
Some history ... Gustafsson had a title shot with Jones back in 2013 at UFC 165 -- and the fight was AWESOME!!!
AG lost in a unanimous decision -- but Jones was sent to the hospital for injuries after the fight and later called it the toughest fight of his career.
Both guys got a Fight of the Night bonus for the spectacular brawl.
Now, with Jones expected to be reinstated to fight again as early as October -- Alexander is making his pitch for a rematch!
"Congratulations [Jon Jones]," the #1 ranked lightweight contender wrote on social media ... "I'm really glad u are back!"
"[Daniel Cormier] is aiming for [Brock Lesnar] ... so let’s give the fans another legendary fight for the belt."
Gustafsson made sure to tag the UFC and Dana White.
As we previously reported, Jones is currently serving a suspension after testing positive for PEDs surrounding the Cormier fight at UFC 214.
He was initially facing a 4-year ban -- but it was reduced to 15 months (retroactive) because officials don't believe he intentionally cheated.
