Last few days have been crazy in terms of who is supposed to fight Jon Jones. First Jones turned down Chael Sonnen and UFC reported Machida was fighting Jones on September 22. I even saw the new poster for the event. I woke up this morning and saw the online MMA community talking about Jones fighting Belfort. Apparently Shogun and Machida refused to fight the champion on a short notice, so they asked old school Belfort, who immediately agreed. I like this match up even though it might be a tough uphill battle for Belfort. With amazing talent in his hands and newly acquired Karate style, Belfort might actually pull an upset. Jones will probaby be favored to win, but better to see a new face try their luck against Jones.
