This Saturday, coming from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario the UFC presents UFC 140 Jones vs Machida. Jon Jones will be defending his title for the first time against former Champion Lyoto Machida in what should be an exciting fight. Jones was originally set to face another former Champion Rashad Evans who at one stage was his training partner, but Evans was forced out of the bout with a hand injury and will now face the up and coming Phil Davis.

Also on the card Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will look to keep some momentum going after his last win when he takes on Frank Mir, a re-match from UFC 92. As always when the UFC  heads to another country they put some local talent on the card and this event is no exception with fighters like Bocek, Makdessi, Jabouin, Patrick and Hominick looking to put on a show for the Canadians that will be in attendance (as they always seen to do).
