Toronto’s UFC 140 headlines Jon Jones vs. Lyoto Machida
The UFC crosses the northern border for one of the most anticipated battles of 2011 as Jon Jones takes on Lyoto Machida for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship, in UFC 140 in Toronto, Canada.
Jones is one of the best strikers in the UFC but he is also dangerous if the fight gets to the ground. Machida is also dangerous on the ground and we have already seen how dangerous he can be with his quick feet on the front kick. The fight is too close to pick and it makes for the match of styles all year in the UFC.
Tito Ortiz is quickly becoming a fan favorite after years of being known as the Huntington Beach Bad Boy. Ortiz will take on Antonio Rogerio Nogueira on the undercard of Jones vs. Machida and this is another fight that will not disappoint.
Nogueira knows one speed and he is not smart enough to stop coming at a fighter once he is hurt. Ortiz is healthy for the first time in five years and he is like a new man in the ring. This fight will not go the distance but the fans will get their money’s worth on this one.
Frank Mir takes on “Big Nog” Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in a heavyweight battle. This fight could be the last fight for the loser. Both Mir and Nogueira have looked bad in recent fights and if one of them puts in a poor performance they will be kicked to the curb by Dan White. The pressure is on both fighters.
