Jon Jones hasn’t been keen on a rematch with Lyoto Machida, but that’s the fight he’s going to get.
With Dan Henderson out, leading to the cancelation of next week’s UFC 151, Jones now will fight Lyoto Machida for the light heavyweight title at next month’s show in Toronto.
UFC President Dana White on Thursday confirmed the news on a media conference call. The previous headliner for UFC 152 in Toronto, a flyweight title fight between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson, will serve as the co-main event.
