Johnson: Gustafsson is a beast
Anthony Johnson: “Of course he’s definitely my toughest opponent. Have you seen that guy fight? He moves well, he punches well and he doesn’t really get hit.”
Anthony Johnson knows that his next opponent Alexander Gustafsson is a beast, judging by the way he fought champion Jon Jones:
“Of course, he’s (Gustafsson) definitely my toughest opponent. Have you seen that guy fight? He moves well, he punches well and he doesn’t really get hit. I think the only person that really hit him was Jon Jones a couple of times. You see the difference between Jon Jones and Alexander after that fight. Jones is a beast, don’t get me wrong, he’s the greatest of all time at 205 and he’s proven that over and over again. But, Alexander is a beast too. I’m honored to be in the same weight class as those two guys. So, to me that’s exciting. Hopefully I get old and grey and I can sit down and sit by the campfire and talk to the younger generation and tell them, ‘hey, this is what I did when I was in my prime.’ Hopefully I can tell some good stories when I’m old.”
