What's on tap this weekend, why UFC 140 of course. We'll expect to see Jon "Bones" Jones as he tries to finish 2011 strong with a title defense against number one contender Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida. It will be Jones' 4th fight of the year and his 3rd title fight. Beating "the Dragon" will surely cement Jones' place in UFC Light Heavyweight History as that belt is quite a slippery one and hard to hold on to.
Here is the fight card:
UFC Light Heavyweight Championship
Jon Jones vs. Lyoto Machida
Frank Mir vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Tito Ortiz vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Brian Ebersole vs. Claude Patrick
Mark Hominick vs. Chan Sung Jung
Jared Hamman vs. Constantinos Philippou
Mark Bocek vs. Nik Lentz
John Makdessi vs. Dennis Hallman
Yves Jabouin vs. Walel Watson
Rich Attonito vs. Jake Hecht
Igor Pokrajac vs. Krzysztof Soszynski
John Cholish vs. Mitch Clarke
Additionally, the Nogueira brothers have bouts on tap as well as Big Nog gets a rematch against Frank Mir and Lil' Nog goes up against self anointed "Peoples Champion" Tito Ortiz.
It's gonna be a great card and I can't wait to see if Bones Jones can make history.
