Gustafson Effortlessly Taking Khamzat Chimaev Down

Alexandra Gustafson was truly one of Jon Jones hardest fights the first time around with here signifying how good he was by effortlessly taking down Khamzat Chimaev. Truly Jon Jones, the legendary UFC MMA double champion, never had a break when it came to his opponents.

Bro he was able to take down a prime DC. The man was an artist for sure .

Gus ragdolled blachowicz (way more dominant than Ankalaev) for three rounds and was equal with Jones in the grappling department during their first fight

This video was 8 years ago. Khamzat is different now.

Gustafson is from the era where 205ers were actually big, modern 205ers are (mostly) just middle weights that eat donuts lol
Ex 205 height over years:
Gustafson- 6'5
Jones - 6'4
Jiri- 6'3
Jan-6-'2
Khalil- 6'1

Middle weight heights over the same years:
Adesanya - 6'4
Chimaev - 6'2
Strickland- 6'1
DDP - 6'0

Gustafson is probly about 40lb heavier than khamzat in this lol

Hes making Khamzat look like he is fighting a guy who weights 40 lbs more than Khamzat.

[boblob-law]

This is why weight classes exist. The smaller guy only wins if the bigger guy isn't trained. Khamzat being able to ragdoll people is only relative to his weight class. Gustafson is probably 225lbs here, and 5 inches taller.

Khamzat probably walks around 205-215. Alex is probably 240 here and loom at the height 😂. I'm not really impressed by this to be honest. If it was this easy in a straight grappling situation maybe so but alex is 2x khamzat as a striker so thats a factor add in the height and weight advantage, he should be able to take him down in a mma sparring session. Straight grappling I think it'd be different

That's the takedown he used to take Jon Jones down. The first man to do so.

[harrythehorse]

Khamzat in one of his interviews admired jon Jones, knowing how good Alex is!

[kveldulfskallagrim]

This is really old footage. Kamzat was still an amateur probably barely over 170lbs here and Alex was training for wedum at heavyweight at this time. It would go alot differently today

[Ascared]

How old is this training video? 8 years ago?

[lucareddavide]

Gustafsson always gives me that potential real deal that never get to reach is true potential for some reason vibes

[SStesta]

gustafson beat jones the first time they met.. ill die on this hill.. ( he lost the second match tho)

[sylezmakefightz]

Same takedown he hit on jones ..first time ever!!!

[redeemedmat]

Good to see your vids again bro, Gus was a beast, sad to him leave the way he did .

[PrakharPrakhar-dhso]

Size difference made me worried about my existence 😅

[valorelite]

The way he playfully hid behind the pillar after landing a stiff jab was great

[chrisdudedurian]

Bro is getting a taste of his own medicine 😂

[noahpendergrass]

I feel bad for gus. Any other era he wouldda been champ

[jasonkowens]

What year is this tho? How developed was Hamzat?
