On September 24th, 2011, Jon “Bones” Jones will defend his light heavyweight championship against veteran and former champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
It has the makings of the best fight of the year.
Oddsmakers have Jones pegged as the favorite in the fight, and the general consensus is that the 24-year-old will run through Jackson.
I’ll admit that Jones deserves some of his hype, but the fight won’t be a shutout. Rampage will be his stiffest test to date, and as such we will see a tremendous performance from both fighters.
The old adage “styles make fights” certainly applies to Rampage vs. Jones, so let us explore how this fight could stylistically be the biggest and most entertaining of the year.
