Gonna be a good fight. I'd put some money down on Gustafsson. The Nogueira brothers are a little too slow, and Gus has a pretty nice reach.

If you consider Lil Nog coming off a win after beating up another 40 year old, then put him up against Matyushenko again and finish that rubber match. Gustafsson better be offended he didn't get a better matchup like Shogun, Hendo, Machida, or Rampage, come out, and murder the Brazilian in the cage. I hope Nog doesn't pull the same bull shit he did agains Phil Davis in that snoozefest. I agree with @FightZen

@FightZen
-200 to -250 opening on Gustafsson will be what it looks like.
Nog's best chance is catching him with a counter left hook.
Gustafsson has so many ways to win this fight..steamrollin' is one of them.

Gustafson all the way on this one. Nog doesn't have it anymore, imo. I smell a steamrollin'.

I like this match up. Both fighters are coming off wins and both have undeniable skill sets. I'm hard pressed to pick a fav though, I like both of these guys. Lil Nog probly has the edge in grappling but, both hit pretty hard. Should be awesome.

Good times to be an MMA fan living in Stockholm right now.
Can't wait for the event, and the swedish crowd is gonna explode from excitement inside The Globe. Better put ear plugs in when Alex steps into the arena to whoop some brazilian ass.

Decent way to bring Gustfson up, And if he loses they have another contender to be killed in one of Jones 7 fights this year, win win really. Gustafson has plenty of time to fight before JOnes runs through him also.
