UFC 232: 5 Reasons why UFC were right to move the event to Los Angeles, California 

#4 The fight remains the same and so do the respective gameplans

December 29th couldn't have come any sooner!

Gustafsson was supposedly relishing a ride over the Grand Canyon when the news of UFC changing venues spread like wildfire. Ideally, he should have been the first person to be informed about the change but most likely would have been the last. In hindsight, it could have been much worse for the Swedish shootfighter.

A replacement opponent would have been a more troublesome proposition for him as Gustafsson's camp preparations for Jones would have become redundant. The same goes for Jones who has been training to beat the only man who has made him look vulnerable in his entire career.

For Jones though, his fight is now against his detractors as well as the guilt-tripping voices in his head. The fingers are solely pointed on Bones at the moment. Even a man of his caliber won't be able to steer clear from the thoughts of being responsible for the collective turmoil and cometh the day of the fight, he would want to prove his innocence by putting on a dominant performance.

Gustafsson will be even more focused in his bid to come out on top against a distracted Jones. The Mawler has only the fight to worry about but Jones, well, will enter the Octagon with a lot of extra baggage.
