Two of the sports’ hottest commodities will meet this Saturday as the Light Heavyweight Champion Jon “Bones” Jones puts his championship on the line against the No. 1 contender, Quintin “Rampage” Jackson.
I always get excited when I hear the promotional video the UFC released hyping the fact that Jones is the leader of the new generation of MMA, while Jackson is the hard-swinging veteran that swings with intentions to “kill you,” according to UFC Personality Joe Rogan.
This is a perfect situation for Jones to be in defending his title for the first time. He’s fighting a well-known fighter that is never afraid to speak his mind.
This fight has had a lot of drama surrounding it the past couple of weeks as Jackson accused Jones of having a spy in his camp.
To make a long story short, Jackson faked a hand injury, and according to Jackson, Jones’ camp found out before anything leaked on the Internet.
Personally, I think Jackson is using this to motivate himself for the toughest test of his MMA career. Fans can’t wait to see this fight, but here are five reasons fans should get excited to see every fight on the main card.
