UFC 140 Jones vs Machida December 10 2011
On December 10th, 2011, UFC 140 will
take
place within
the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario. The
main event does
indeed feature
Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida vs
Jon "Bones" Jones.
Machida, a Brazilian Mixed
Martial Arts fighter will
take on American MMA
fighter Jon Jones in what is
anticipated to
be really an
epic round
for
the Light Heavyweight Championchip. It's
going to be an
excellent exhibit
of Brazilian and American forms
of fighting becoming
a slugfest - exactly
what UFC supporters
are hungry
for and
here they
might be going
to get the chance
to watch
a
legendary showdown.
Both
of these mma
fighters are in their prime and eager
to catapult
their careers through
the UFC. Machida is 33 yrs
. old and Jones, just 24.
This
is Jones' 4th
fight
this
year. One
particular, in
September, he beat
Rampage Jackson with
a rear naked choke. He was
previously set
up to fight Rashad Evans but,
on
account of a hand injury, Evans wasn't
able to accept
the match
and
as a result in walked
Machida. Machida has
only fought 1
time in
2011 when
he knocked out UFC Legend Randy Couture by
means of a front kick to the face.
