Alexander Gustafsson’s rematch with Jon Jones is one of the more highly anticipated fights in the mixed martial arts world. The two first met at UFC 165 where Gustafsson gave Jones the hardest fight of his career, pushing the dominant light heavyweight champion to the point where some felt that the challenger deserved to walk away with the title.

Days have passed since the announcement and only Gustafsson has signed the bout agreement, leading to the challenger taking to Facebook to call out the champ.
