After dominating Mauricio Rua to become the UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones will look to defend his belt for the first time in a bout with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 135. As Jones looks to take one of his first steps toward greatness, another MMA legend will likely be fighting for his career at UFC 135.
After suffering a knockout loss to B.J. Penn in his most recent appearance, 37-year-old Matt Hughes is nearing the end of his Hall of Fame career. A loss to Josh Kocheck on Saturday could bring about Hughes’ retirement.
