He's retired.
I'm surprised no one has commented on The UFC 165 main event. Allow me: Ol' Alex will never see +700 odds again. Incredible performance by him, slightly lackluster by Jones who I think is the better athlete. I think that it could have gone either way so I am not arguing the decision. I think Alex won rounds one and two, 3 was either or, and 4 and 5 leaned towards Jones. I think it is appropriate that Alex will get the rematch as long as Jones retains his title in his next fight. Even if he does not, I'd still like to see the fight. I think both of them, especially Alex, were very humble after the decision. It was one of the best fights I've seen live (as it took place, I wasn't actually in the arena) And, after the fact the Swede gained a new fan.

It was one of the best title fights I have ever seen. At first I didn't think Gustafsson deserved a title shot, but he brought the fight to Jones. Earned my respect and a rematch.
