It has never been questioned that Jon “Bones” Jones was a lethal MMA fighter. I truly noticed him during his complete and utter destruction of Matt Hamill. Granted, he committed a foul during the match, but his unique skills were undeniable. He was a fighter destined for a shot at becoming champion.
That shot is being delivered on March 19th at UFC 128 against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. All of Bones Jones’ fights are must see fights, but a title shot for this young, risen star is an absolute. The fight hype has not been greatest and both fighters are more about fighting, less about talking. With that in mind, the blows and elbows will do all the talking during the fight that the fighters did not engage prior to the fight.
Dana White has just headed out to New York to get the festivities started. The week will loaded with parties, raffles and scavenger hunts for fans. The week will also highlight the rising of the risen star. Spike TV will premiere “UFC Presents Jon Jones: In the Moment.” The 90 minute program will showcase Jones’ journey to Saturday’s championship fight.
Win, lose, or draw, Jones has earned his shot at the title and faces a fighter that has better chance of defeating him than previous opponents. Tune in, it will be worth your time.
