MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
Champ Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans (for light-heavyweight title)
Rory MacDonald vs. Che Mills
Ben Rothwell vs. Brendan Schaub
Michael McDonald vs. Miguel Torres
Mark Hominick vs. Eddie Yagin
John Alessio vs. Mark Bocek
PRELIMINARY CARD (FX)
Travis Browne vs. Chad Griggs
Matt Brown vs. Stephen Thompson
John Makdessi vs. Anthony Njokuani
Mac Danzig vs. Efrain Escudero
I'm not really excited about the card overall but my favorite fighter is on the top of it in a great bout so I'm super excited. Rashad is one of only 2 light heavies with a legit chance of beating Jones (Dan Henderson being the other, he will get the winner of this fight).
Did you know that Jones has never been taken down once? But according to FightMetric: "Evans' average of 4.32 takedowns per 15 minutes of fighting is the 2nd highest average in light heavyweight history. He's managed to takedown every single opponent that he has tried to get to the ground. His takedown accuracy is second only to Jon Jones, with a 53.3% success rate, 2nd best in division history."
Also Jones is the better takedown artist (slightly) but Evans has never submitted.
Also excited to see Rory Macdonald fight, he just has good fights and the headliner on the FX card should be good too I think.
