Depending on which sportsbook you consult, Jon Jones is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of a 2-1 favorite in his fight with UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 128.
Whether that’s due to Rua’s long injury layoff or Jones’ dynamic blend of skills – or, most likely, some comination of the two – it doesn’t seem to matter to the two combatants. While they disagree on what the outcome of the fight will be next Saturday night, they both seem convinced that they deserve to be thought of as the underdog.
