With the announcement of tickets on sale and the official main card for UFC 140 the UFC wasted no time in holding a press conference for the event. Today at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario Main Card fighters, Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida and of course UFC President took part in the press conference.
After my last fight against Tito Ortiz, I dislocated my right thumb, which required it to be set back in place and held with pins. 24 hours ago, my physician removed the pins. At that time, I learned that it would require another three weeks of rehabilitation before engaging in any exercise or training that would require the use of my hand.
Rashed Evans just cannot seem to catch a break when it comes to getting a shot to regain the UFC Light Heavyweight Title.
With Evans still injured, Lyoto Machida (17-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) steps in for Evans and will face UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones (14-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) in the headlining bout at UFC 140 which will take place in Toronto.
Recently, Yahoo.ca‘s Andrew McKay took to his platform to argue against the UFC returning to Toronto just eight months after their debut in the city which drew a record 55,000 to the SkyDome (I will NOT call it the Rogers Centre). You can read the article yourself here.
