UFC 135: Jones vs Rampage will take place at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, featuring an exciting 205-pound showdown between light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former division kingpin, Quinton Jackson. The bout will mark the first-ever title defense for “Bones,” a 23-year-old mixed martial arts (MMA) phenom, since wresting the belt away from Mauricio Rua at UFC 128 earlier this year. In the co-featured fight of the night, former welterweight champion and MMA legend Matt Hughes will look to rebound from a vicious first round knockout loss to B.J. Penn in his most recent outing when he takes on eccentric The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) winner, Diego Sanchez. A heavyweight showdown – Travis Browne vs Rob Broughton – and a lightweight attraction – Nate Diaz vs. Takanori Gomi – were also highlighted in the promotion’s recent announcement.
