Thank You ! - Розваги
Glover was so young in his career when he fought Gustafsson, only 40 years old
Lol
He was 37 but he wasn't young for sure
37, he was just a kid my kid brother Glover, me I’m an old man
Tough as nails. Him and Randy.
Still tough af guy and big win
the three unanswered uppercuts followed by the slip to right hand will forever be one of the best finishing sequences ever
it's so good
It's so insane
Gustafson is one of the best to never win a title he fast became fans fav fighter and still to this day nothing but respect to the warrior,he doesn’t get mentions enough in the list of greats.
He is the best to never win a belt he beat jan and Glover back to back and was razor close to beat jones
@@edinsimic9867 Don't forget he was also razor close to beating DC and almost finished him
"Gustafson is one of the best to never win a title" overstated unoriginal comment, mma fans think of new things to say. not hating but you're commenting for likes and validation so i'm gonna piss in your bum.
@Jelly Punk you’re not a winner lmao
that uppercut was money that night jeez
I think Glover just has problems with that punch
@@hailarwotanaz5848 ??? I don't recall him eating 3 in a row any other time than this. They were definitely money that night and Alex was a beast striker.
@@666sk8erguy Anthony Johnson got him with one
The Mauler is a spectacular athlete.
He really fought the most competitive people and came oh so close.
Still one of my favorites.
Viking!
For sure, he dragged steroid boy Jon Jones into deep waters and almost drowned him in their first fight.
I say he beat Jones in their first fight and beat DC as well.
As a Swedish fan, him beating the brakes off of Glover in front of his home crowd after he got bonked by Rumble was one hell of a redemption arc.
Both of them got bonked by Rumble lmao crazy fighter
was not the same arena lmao. Rumble vs Alex Tele2 Arena, Alex vs Teixeira Ericsson Globe (Aviici Arena). You were at the fights too? XDDD
@@Frexnoog Oops. Sheiße. I forgor 💀
@@sumiokodai1652 I would've paid anything for Rumble VS Jiri. RIP.
@@TheStraightestWhitest i think rumble would've knocked jiri dead.
This was the last time Gus looked in his prime. Crazy to think he beat both Glover and Jan back then who are now former LHW champs.
@@keezy7865 he fought DC In 2015, this fight was in 2017
@@winstonchurchill137 ahh yeah remember a press after this with dc mb
Reminder, he had just arguably won against the lhw prime Jones but lost ud, then won against Blachowichz and did this to Teixeira, both future lhw champions. Came so close to winning against Dc as well. How has this man never become champ
unlucky
He's the best of the second best
The best fighter ever to not touch gold. He came up short against jones and dc, but what an absolute beast that would've give anyone a run for their money.
that combo at 4:05 was the most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen
Bruv. I thought this fight was over like 4 different times.
This was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in the ufc
Gus Gustafon may have never become champion, but he had the quintessential fight any fighter could ever ask for. He 1) Put on a beautiful display of precise striking 2) In his native land 3) Proposed to the love of his life right after. Him and Leon Edwards are top of the list for real life Rocky type moments in the octagon.
Glover has always had a problem with uppercuts,rumble also knocked him out with that and jones connected some good ones on him too.
Probably the highlight of gustafssons career. Legendary performance plus he proposes.
Him and Rumble both the best light heavyweights to never win the belt
that lil 6-3, 6-3 at 4:49 was REALLY underrated imo. Or was it a jab instead of a hook idk either way that shit was sexy
The miss watching The Mauler fight so much, win or lose he always managed to impress.
That three uppercut combo was some mortal kombat type stuff. Gus is so cool.
Crazy to look back on how both guys careers went after this fight. Gustafson was never the same after losing his next fight to Jones. Glover on the other hand persevered and eventually won the belt.
Awesome video my guy
If Gustafsson had a better kicking game he could've become the champ at one point in time.
That High kick to the head is what JBJ used to sink DC with. If Gustafsson could kick as well as Bones history might have been written differently.
Still can't believe that Glover only sank AFTER 4 rounds. How he survived all those mortar fires for so long is incredible. He certainly has an iron dome for a head.
Brilliant boxing masterclass by A. Gustafsson. 👏
it’s crazy how both of their careers went in opposite directions after this fight
I hated how much shit gus got after this fight for backing off like it's against the rules. Wrestlers and bjj guys can hold a guy for 15 min and it's considered neutralizing but getting space in a striking war is considered cowardly.
Couldn't agree more! People praising the "hug buddies", and giving Gus hate for "running", Gus in his prime was a nutter
Gustafsson had the skill and patience, he is one of the most legendary fighters to ever do it in that division. All he lacked was the aggression but he still messed ppl up pretty brutally.
He was giving uppercut sandwiches like a White Castle Crave Case
that last combo looking like when you turn free combinations on in UFC 4
I forgot about hat spinning elbow combo. This fight has 2 of the slickest combos in the whole UFC.
Beautiful uppercut
What a night for him
Getting hit with a mean uppercut then having the dude run away must be annoying.
See, in striking we call that: exiting the pocket.
@@debeuleneareko6157 Exiting the pocket with style then
@@debeuleneareko6157 if I'm looking for the best UFC game, which one should I get?
@@insanelanegaming5167 That's a personal choice. Myself i like UFC3 the most, feels like the more organic of the games so far.
@@insanelanegaming5167 prepare for a limited roster though
7:21 damn his wife must be like 6’3 or sum
Prime guss was something else I miss those days
This was an uppercut masterclass
This is my favorite fight with alex
Best combo in the ufc ever
He was so fast
He must be the best uncrowned champ in the UFC
Next level Gusty, JJ would of had problems too.
I wish that Gustafsson and I wish I would see him performing like that again :-/ also Glover has a heart of a lion.
This version of Gus vs the version of Jiri that fought Reyes would have been a good scrap.
This version of gus win a prime jiri in my opinion
savage ko
if gus were in his prime, he would be a dominant champion right now
The last time he fought at the height of his powers.
You can tell he study jon jones too because they the same height body type he used the same moves jon jones uses
Like that spinning elbow. Even the fake level change before it
Even the eye poke
@@josesmagador6180 yesis
His movement reminds me my favourite fighter Carlos Condit
Gus 6'5, Jon 6'4, Jamahal, 6'4
If Jamahal can keep it standing up I think he got this
Prime Gustafson is somthing eles
The mauler
How do these videos avoid copyright strikes/ claims by the ufc ?
I have heard the UFC can grant you a license to post things like this but I think this also falls under Fair Use
Prime Gus at it's finest
Glover got chin like steel
Crazy to think this was pre-prime glover
i love and admire glover a great deal, but alex delivered a textbook example of "there's levels to this" in this match, damn. made glover look totally one-dimensional and beginner-like. can't believe it.
the best version of alex we ever saw
Gus had 5 amazing champion fights in him, too bad he spent 3 of those 5 before fighting a champ! I love Gus and his style, not that powerfull, but his volume and speed was nuts for LHW! I'm still waiting for his prospects to enter the UFC, hope you enjoy your retirement brother!
In sweden this is called a grov misshandel. Gus the f-ing legend.
If I was the guy taking those uppercuts I'd start crying and call of the fight
texeira‘s chin made out of granit
Guff best performance
Viking style
Gustfasson really is the best boxer in the LHW.
Ironic how Gus never won again after this while Glover started a 6 fight win streak over impressive competition and became a champ at 42
I will forever think Gus won his first fight with Jones. Gus 1-3 Jon 4-5.
Alexander Gustafsson should have move to AKA to improve all aspects of his game.
smith should have used this gameplan to save his teeth
Am I watching Alexander Gustaffson? Or am I watching old Conor McGregor?🤔👀
Gustafsson (30yo) vs Teixeira (38yo). Alex would mostly dominate Teixeira in this match. Alex would never win another fight again. Teixeira would go on to become World Champion ... MMA is SUCH a weird sport! xD
First
Fist
no
Kick
Glover looked slow and lost.
Glover is like MMA's Foreman. He somehow got tougher with age and mileage. And Gustafsson literally turned obsolete the moment he got married. Gained 40lbs in fat and lost motivation. Hasn't won a fight since Glover. Rocky Balboa was right. Women make your legs weak.
Teixeira head movement is just absent in this fight and his stance is awful. Staying frontal with chin out and hands not tucked to it is the recipe for disaster. Especially against one of the best strikers in the division.Ate every single jab and uppercut.
And in the end he’s a whale hunter
please turn down your intro sound, or at least bass
He beat jones
He beat Jones
Fun fact: the girl cheated on him 2 years later
Where did you get that from? I only know that he had a daughter with her at that time and then another a year later.
Imagine if gus had lost, proposed and his girlfriend refused
He probably would've been the champ
How the world is, today, 2022, Glover beats Gustafsson like his bitch and wouldn't be even fair.
Gustafson is the goat bro. He even beat Jon jones in the first fight
Never figured out how to defend against the uppercut.
Chewed mans up with that rear hand uppercut smh lol made my nigga ⁶³² my ⁶Glover look like he had no business being in there with him 🤦🏾♂️ lol
The best to never win a belt
Good fight but not greater then masterful uppercut by the great Anthony Rumble Johnson!
Man Pereira vs Gus would've been amazing if Gus managed to stay on top for a while now 🥲🥲
