In 2011, Jon Jones gained the sunshine heavyweight title and defended it twice. He had captured the title in March of that yr by stopping Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and defended it towards Quinton “Rampage” Jackson six months later in September. In December, he was paired towards former champion Lyoto Machida.
The occasion happened at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Jones defeated Machida late within the second spherical by way of guillotine choke.
