Alexander Gustafsson (14-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is a sizable underdog heading into his fight with light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones (18-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC), who is as high as an 8-to-1 favorite to retain his belt when they meet at UFC 165 in September. Gustafsson, though, isn’t one to be fazed by other’s expectations, and given this past weekend’s shakeup in the MMA world, he’s all the more sure that no matter what betting lines say, any fighter has a chance to buck the odds. “We’re all human beings,” he told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “Everyone is beatable, and I’m here to prove everyone wrong, and that’s how it’s going to be.” At the start of this year, the 26-year-old fighter still had distance to travel in the light heavyweight division’s standings.
