Twitter reacts to Jon Jones Victory over Alexander Gustafsson

The light heavyweight rivalry between Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson has finally come to an end as Jones finished Alexander Gustafsson in the third round to claim the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight championship at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

The rematch was nothing like the first fight, as this time Jones completely mauled Gustafsson and finished him. Jones set the pace in the opening round, as he hit Gustafsson with brutal leg kicks and cracked him with sharp hands any time Gustafsson tried to close the distance.

The second round was a bit better for Gustafsson, he pocked Jones but ultimate Jones rallied back to win the rounds in the closing seconds. The third was completely one-sided, as he mounted himself on top of Gustafsson to ultimately knock him out.

After the fight, he called out his arch-rival Daniel Cormier.

“I know there’s a guy who has been calling himself ‘Champ Champ,'” Jones said. “I mean, what guy just gives up his belt when someone else is home. Daddy is home, DC. Come prove to the man that you are the ‘Champ Champ.’ I’m here. Come get your belt back. I’m here.”

The MMA twitter didn’t expect Jones to put a beating on Gustafsson. Here are the best reactions:

For real though, do you think Matt Hamill sits there with his family and friends watching Jon Jones fight and looks at his son, puts his arm around him and says, "I beat that man you know." 😂 #UFC232
