Lightheavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will fight top contender Jon "Bones" Jones in UFC 128. Watch the explosive "Fight of The Year" bout between Shogun and Jones From the video below:
This will be an tough fight for Jones who haven't faced a striker in the caliber of Shogun. For the reigning champ, it will be interesting how they will prepare a game plan for an unorthodox fighter like Jones. Shogun has already proven he can beat a fighter with such a unique style when he demolished Lyoto Machida, who like Jones, have been unbeaten before facing the champ.
Jones might be a tougher opponent than Machida because of his length and athleticism. Shogun attacked Machida from the outside using his Muay Thai kicks but if he uses this against Jones he might be taken down and expect elbows to rain down if that happens. Whatever the outcome, this is destined to be one of the most anticipated match ups of the year.
