#UFCStockholm: Anthony Johnson Dominates Alexander Gustafsson to Earn Title Shot Against Jon Jones

There was a lot on the line for Alexander Gustafsson when he faced off against Anthony Johnson in the main event of the UFC on FOX 14 card. Not only was he fighting for a chance to redeem his last loss against Jon Jones since the winner is slated to get a title shot, but he was doing so in front of his native countrymen.

Things never really went well for him from the start.



When you appear to be running from someone and you are a fighter that is not a good sign. In the real world you might be able to get away with it, but inside the Octagon not so much.



When Johnson caught up with Gustafsson he made him pay.



And pay he did.



Some of the analysis I read online thought the fight could have been called sooner, but when Gustaffson's head cocks back after one of Johnson's blows that was a pretty good indication he was done.
