The UFC light heavyweight championship of the world is on the line this Saturday night from the place where it all began for the organization back in 1993.
Jon “Bones” Jones will put his title on the line for the first time against former champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and the fireworks are sure to erupt when the cage closes in Denver.
Is it truly the young phenom Jones’ time at the top of a division full of veterans, or can “Rampage” show the kid that he is only the “paper” champion that Jackson believes he is?
This card may truly shape up as a changing of the guard as legend Matt Hughes is also in action against a brash, young, lion in late replacement Josh Koscheck. Both men are looking to bounce back off of bad losses in their last bouts.
The card also packs two heavyweight clashes with a striving Ben Rothwell taking on veteran Mark Hunt and top prospect Travis Browne against Brit Rob Broughton. Nate Diaz will return to the lightweight division and take on Japanese star Takanori Gomi.
If you want a team of men who are willing to stick their necks out on the line, you have come to the right place. The Bleacher Report MMA team of John Heinis, Jordy McElroy, Jeff McKinney and yours truly are here to deliver the filthy picks.!
