UFC 140 may have a main event, but UFC president Dana White insists it’s not the one everybody is talking about.

UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones and top
contender Rashad Evans were expected to
headline the December event in Toronto, but White today told MMAjunkie.com the proposed matchup simply isn’t taking place at UFC 140.

MMAFighting.com first reported the planned booking, and MMAjunkie.com subsequently confirmed that discussions were underway. However, the bout will not take place at UFC 140, according to White.
