On Saturday, April 27, 2013, UFC 159 will hit the airwaves live from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. In the main event, dominant Light Heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones will defend his title against Chael Sonnen, possessor of the sport’s biggest mouth. Sonnen, for all his bluster, is a very dangerous wrestler with solid boxing and a lot of experience, but if he wants to move back up to 205 pounds and dethrone Jones, it is going to take by far the best performance of his long career.

In the semi-main event, Alan “The Talent” Belcher will square off against Michael “The Count” Bisping in a Middleweight bout. Bisping, coming off a devasting head kick knockout against Vitor Belfort, will be eager to prove that he is still a top player at 185. The rest of the card features a Heavyweight showdown between Cheick Kongo and Roy “Big Country” Nelson and a Light Heavyweight bout pitting “Mr. Wonderful” Phil Davis against Vinny “Pezao” Magalhaes.
