It seems like just yesterday that Dana White was telling Jon “Bones” Jones his victory over Ryan Bader earned him a shot a the title, mostly because it pretty much was yesterday.

Despite a short training camp for his big light heavyweight title fight, Jones is ready to take on the champ, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. If you’re not bound for the Jersey Shore, no worries, there are plenty of places around town to catch this fight and the UFC debut of former WEC standout Urijah Faber.
