Lyoto Machida finally has an opponent lined up and it will be none other than UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
UFC president Dana White broke the news today on Twitter, announcing the fight as the main event of UFC 140.
Jones recently defended his title for the first time against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 135.
The last time we saw Machida he was retiring Randy Couture with an amazing jumping front kick that KO’d the UFC legend.
Machida will be Jones’ toughest test to date. His style of elusive karate is one of the hardest for fighters to figure out.
Despite this, Jones will find a way to beat Machida. Here are the reasons why.
