The UFC doesn’t necessarily need to buffer a Jon Jones title defense with anything spectacular, but on Saturday, September 21, UFC 165 will feature not only Jones looking to keep his light heavyweight championship out of Alexander Gustafsson’s reach, but also a co-main event championship bout between 135-pound interim champion Renan Barao and top contender Eddie Wineland.
Though there are a few other noteworthy fighters sprinkled throughout the main card, it’s important to note that not all of the scheduled fights are worthy of the same recognition and anticipation.
