Yes he does. But Jones will not pull a Gus and stand with him. He will take him down immediately. Like Gus should of... what a dummy

Its good not great. He stuffs most of his opponents. But a top tier wrestler like Koscheck was able to take him down and choke him out.
Jones is unfortunately a top tier wrestler in MMA.

Although Davis couldn't take him down. I personally thing both Davis and Bader are highly overrated wrestlers in MMA

Gustafsson can stand up with any fighter in his division he just got caught by a power puncher.

I agree that he just got caught. But even if he can stand, why not take away from your opponent whatever hes good at.. he didn't even attempt a takedown.

Well the fight didn't last very long for him to try a take down but i think Gus wanted to stand anyway and he can definitely beat him standing. **** he went 5 rounds with the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC.
