Gus cut him by a punch that did not land clean in the very first round. That kept looking worse as the fight went on.
Yes, Gus landed a legal punch which almost ended the fight between rounds 4 and 5. If it wasn't for Big John's begging the ringside doctor would have stopped the fight. Gus was closer to win via stoppage than Jones.
Jon Jones also never tried to back away from the fight. Gus had many moments where he looked worried and scared. In th clinch or when Jones cut him off with better footwork.
Jones looked like a deer in headlights already after the first round.
