Red Corner MMA shared a post on their X handle in which 'Bones' seemingly praised Gustafsson as his toughest opponent.

"My best opponent would have to have been Alexander Gustafsson. He was my best opponent... He really pushed me. He was the only guy to take me down in the UFC. And, man, he cut me open and made me dig really hard."

The first fight between Jones and Gustafsson took place at UFC 165, where the American won by unanimous decision. However, their rematch at UFC 232 had a more decisive outcome, with Jones defeating Gustafsson by knockout.
