- The UFC
officially announced that UFC light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones"
Jones will make his first title defense against former UFC and PRIDE
champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 135 on Saturday, Sept. 24, at
the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado."Many people think that Jon Jones should be considered one of the
pound-for-pound best fighters in the world, but I wouldn't make that
claim too fast," UFC President Dana White
said. "The 205-pound division is and always has been the most stacked
division in MMA. Rampage Jackson has been one of the top five light
heavyweights in the world since 2003. A win over Rampage Jackson will
definitely put Jon Jones on the right track for becoming the
pound-for-pound best fighter in the world."After capturing the UFC light heavyweight crown by stopping Mauricio
"Shogun" Rua in March, Jon Jones (fighting out of Endicott, N.Y.) makes
his first title defense in Denver when he meets Rampage Jackson. At
13-1, the 23-year-old Team Jackson fighter owns wins over the likes of Stephan Bonnar,
Vladimir Matyushenko and Ryan Bader. Despite his impressive resume,
"Bones" believes a win over Jackson would truly cement his place as one
of the world's most dominant fighters. "Fighting Rampage Jackson is an awesome opportunity and a win is
definitely something that could add to my legacy as champion," Jones
said. "I think he's re-motivated and that makes him dangerous. He's
driving me to a different level of training right now. I'm training like
a champion so that I can go in there on Sept. 24 and perform like a
champion."With his bone-crushing power and seek-and-destroy mentality, Quinton
"Rampage" Jackson (fighting out of Irvine, Calif.) owns victories over
some of the sport's all-time greats, including Wanderlei Silva, Dan Henderson and Chuck Liddell.
While his opponent on Sept. 24 appears to be heading toward a similarly
historic career, Jackson (32-8 ) looks to end Jones' surge when the two
battle for the title at Pepsi Center. Simply put, Jackson believes it's
his time to once again reign over arguably the most stacked division in
the UFC.Tickets for UFC 135: Jones vs. Ramapage go on sale this Friday, July 22
at 10 a.m. MT and are priced at $400, $300, $225, $150, $100, $75 and
$50. Tickets will be available at the Pepsi Center Box Office, or by
calling Ticket Horse at 303-53-HORSE or online at TicketHorse.com. Fightline
