It’s official: UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will fight in Hotlanta.
UFC officials announced on Saturday night that a previously rumored April 21
event in Atlanta’s Philips Arena will serve as UFC 145, and Jones will
fight a yet-to-be-named opponent in the evening’s main event.
“Fans in Atlanta have been tweeting me and telling me over and over
again to bring the UFC back to their city,” UFC president Dana White
stated. “Well, guess what Atlanta? The UFC is coming back to Atlanta
with the sport’s fastest-rising star, Jon Jones, defending his light
heavyweight title.”
