UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones is set to take on former PRIDE/Strikeforce champion Dan Henderson on September 1. However, Lyoto Machida is lurking...
I find it odd that some of my colleagues and fans are stating that Lyoto Machida doesn’t deserve to be the #1 contender for the UFC’s light heavyweight title. I’ve heard things like, “he lost back in December to Jones and now he beats Bader, how does that deserve a title shot?” Some of you have short memories; this isn’t the first time the UFC has anointed someone a title shot after just one victory.
UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans air this Saturday (04/21) and HeavyMMA has created an exclusive documentary on Jonny ‘Bones’ Jones titled “The Real Jon Jones”. In an interview with Fight Day host, Dave Farra, Jones recounts his incredible rise from college drop-out to national UFC champion, and answers very personal questions about his family, his relationship with God and the passing of his younger sister.
