UFC 128 Tonight

Tonight's UFC 128: Jones vs Rua is coming from New Jersey, a state where I'd like to see a whole group of fake-tanned, loud mouths get their faces punched in. Unfortunately non of the stars of that reality show will be getting in the cage as they are the wrestling ring, so I'll take this excellent card instead.

The light-heavyweight champ, Shogun Rua, has his hands full with the most hyped fighter of all-time maybe in the UFC, Jon "Bones" Jones. I love Jones and all the hype is because of what he's done in the cage so it's all justified. I'm with the odds makers on this one... we're gonna have a new champ.

Also a few favorite fighters of mine like Urijah Faber, Nate "The Great" Marquardt and more recently Kamal Shalorus are on the televised card so this ought to be fun.
