7. The "Ducking Gustafsson" Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBPU19kEQyI Asking for an undefeated Olympic wrestler, Strikeforce champion makes me somehow a coward? How about the fact that I beat Gustafsson already? Whether you guys like how close it was or not. It's my career. Not yours. That was the response Jon Jones had for critics of his request to fight Daniel Cormier instead of Alexander Gustafsson this year. Most critics pointed to the fact that the Swedish Gustafsson gave Jones his toughest test to date in a fantastic fight in Toronto in 2013, and the fact that Jones has a massive reach advantage over Cormier, which he lacks against Gustafsson. Again, Jones may have a point - but the attitude he displays in the video is just poor, and furthers accusations that he's "fake" and puts on a different face when speaking at major media events.
