UFC 135 is on the horizon and the tension and trash talk that started between Jon “Bones” Jones and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson during the mid-July press conference for the fight card is quickly ratcheting up.
Jones will make his first defense of the UFC light heavyweight title on September 24, when he meets Jackson, the former champion, inside the Octagon at Denver’s Pepsi Center.
When the two step in, to face each other all the trash talk, all the tweets, all the accusations of just being in it for the money, the jibes to grow up, will be in the past and what will be on the line is Jones’ title. The title that Jones captured in March by dominating Mauricio Rau, the title he will be defending for the first time. The same title that was once held by Rampage, the title that he has repeatedly, referred to as “his,” the title he so desperately wants to regain.
Expect, more words to be exchanged as the fight nears, expect a grudge match in Denver.
