Saturday, March 19, backs the Ultimate Fighting Championship (128) with the main event Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs Jon Jones. Both are among the top 10 mma fighters in the Light Heavyweight division, Rua hasn’t fought for almost a year (UFC 113), while Jones has fought just a month and a half ago, defeating Ryan Bader. It is not easy to predict the result of the fight between Shogun and Jones (valid for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship) since the U.S., despite not having too much experience is a tough fighter and is younger than six years. But the UFC 128 could be very exciting thanks to the first fight in 2011 of Urijah Faber that fights against Eddie Wineland, thanks to the the undefeated Kamal Shalorus that will face Jim Miller and the always spectacular Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic versus Brendan Schaub.
