UFC 140 will take place on Saturday, December 10 from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The main event of the night will see Jon Jones put his light heavyweight title on the line against former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida.
Saturday’s bout will mark Jones’ second defense of the title he tore from the hands of Maurcio Rua at UFC 128. His first defense of the title took place on September 24 when he defeated Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. Jackson was forced to tap in the fourth round of the fight after Jones secured a rear naked choke.
For his part Rua will look to regain the title he lost to Rua at UFC 113. Coincidentally, Machida’s next fight, following his loss to Rua, was a split decision loss to Rampage Jackson. Machida followed that loss up with a stunning second round knockout of Randy Couture at UFC 129.
