Jon Jones To Face Shogun Rua At UFC 128 For The UFC Light Heavyweight Title
 

Due to Rashad Evans being injured.

At last night's UFC 126 event, Jon Jones defeated Ryan Bader via second round submission. After the fight, Joe Rogan announced that Rashad Evans injured his knee in training, and would not be able to fight Shogun Rua at UFC 128 for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title. Rogan then informed Jones that the UFC was offering him the title fight, which he gladly accepted. UFC 128 takes place on March 19th in Newark, New Jersey at the Prudential Center.
