A light heavyweight title tilt between champion Jon Jones and Lyoto Machida will headline the pay-per-view broadcast.
“I am thrilled to be fighting Lyoto Machida at UFC 140 in Toronto, which is just a few hours from my hometown, Endicott, N.Y.,” Jones said. “He is an incredibly skilled fighter and one who poses numerous challenges inside the Octagon. He has only been defeated twice in his career and is coming off a big victory in April.
“For me, it will be important to just continue to focus on making myself better as a fighter, and keeping the fight at my intensity and aggression levels. It is my goal to become the first UFC fighter to defeat three former champions in one year.”
“The Dragon,” who will be entering his fourth championship bout in his last six outings, couldn’t be more thrilled about the opportunity.
“I’m really excited to be fighting for the light heavyweight title again,” stated Machida. “Jon Jones is a great fighter and a great champion. It’s going to be my experience and technique against his youth and athleticism. It’s going to be a great fight.”
