Jones vs Machida II to headline UFC 152 in Toronto

Jon Jones hasn't been keen on a rematch with Lyoto Machida, but that's the fight he's going to get.
With Dan Henderson (29-8 MMA, 6-2 UFC) suddenly out with a MCL injury, leading to the cancelation of next week's UFC 151 in Las Vegas, Jones (16-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) now will fight Lyoto Machida (18-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) for the UFC light heavyweight title as the main event at next month's show in Toronto.
UFC President Dana White on Thursday confirmed the news on a media conference call. The previous headliner for UFC 152 in Toronto, a flyweight title fight between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson, will serve as the co-main event.

i like this fight for ONLY one reason. at least machida has a chance to prepare for jones. i would have liked to see jones vs hendo or sonnen, but sonnen would have taken it on such short notice. now with the machida fight being a whole month away we have more of a chance to see jones get KO'd. i will still pick jones by UD though.

I really hope Lyoto can figure out a way to put JJ to sleep, I can even begin to explain how much I am disliking this guy.

You and every living thing on this planet my friend....
I would be surprised if Jones' closest friends and family members could support him at this point.

Never was a huge fan of the Dragon, but I will be cheering for him in this one. I hope he knocks Jones' teeth out with the front kick just like Segal taught him.

Wow sick card. I could see them moving a fight to the prelims though since there's two title fights cuz of time constraints n shit
