Jon “Bones” Jones defeated Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at 2:37 in the third round of their UFC 128 title tilt and took the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion belt. Jones showed amazing ease in the fight that made Rua look rocked and gassing in the first round. Jones’ next opponent is teammate Rashad Evans, but if Evans hasn’t already figured out how to beat Jones, who he’s trained with day in and out, then it looks like Jones will be sitting atop the Light Heavyweight throne for a long-time coming.

To most, the Main Card went exactly as expected with Urijah Faber taking a Unanimous Decision win over Eddie Wineland who showed a strong first round but was no match for Faber’s vast improving stand-up skills displayed in the second and third rounds with a takedown in the final minute.  The win earned Faber a title-shot against UFC Bantamweight Champ, Dominick Cruz. Jim Miller proved Kamal Shalorus needs a lot more weaponry in his arsenal than his wrestling to compete with the UFC big boys. Nate Marquardt unsurprisingly dominated his late replacement match up, Dan Miller, and Brendan Schaub knocked out Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic late in the third round. Both fighters lost points for illegal blows in the second round but Cro Cop finished the round strong with his boxing. However, he was no match for Schaub in the third round and took the loss in what may be his final UFC bout.

UFC Wastes No Time Pitting Jones Against Evans, With Good Reason

NEWARK, N.J. – Call it the championship life cycle: one legend is barely out of his post-knockout haze, his facial tissue still in mid-swell, when the new champ is already confronting his next challenger on a canvas where the blood hasn’t even dried yet.

It wasn’t an unfamiliar encounter when former training partners Jon Jones and Rashad Evans shook hands in the middle of the Octagon before agreeing to beat each other up at some point in the near future. It also wasn’t exactly an enthusiastic agreement on either man’s part, though it was a decisive one.

Jones didn’t just beat Mauricio “Shogun” Rua to claim the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 128 – he utterly demolished him. In a little less than three full rounds of combat, there wasn’t a second where it wasn’t Jones’ fight. Aside from possibly hurting his elbow on Rua’s skull, Jones had almost nothing to worry about in the biggest fight of his career.
