In each of his last four fights, Gustafsson has impressed me more and more. He's got a very solid striking base, has good height for the division, seems to be improving on the ground and has pretty good takedown defense. At 24, he's still got plenty of room for growth, but already has faced and defeated some solid competition.
I'm not calling him a force NOW, but I do see enough promise in him to where he could be a name to watch in 2012 and possibly in title contention by the end of the year.
Yeah, how are you asking if he is a legit threat? No postulation needed, he's proven it. The Janitor isn't easy to tear through like he did. Same with Hammill.
random_perv - Hes good but Jones would ko him real easy.
Jones is a beast and is getting better and better every fight and I would pick him to win but this comment is LOL. Gustafsson is the guy that knocked down the best technical striker in the LHW Division (Cyrille Diabate). I don't think anyone is going to KO him easy.
