UFC releases preview for UFC 140
Posted by Joe Rice
Few fighters personify the artistry involved in MMA better than top light heavyweights Jon Jones and Lyoto Machida. Both creative, well-rounded athletes, Jones and Machida have painted a number of masterpieces in the Octagon with a variety of brush-strokes including spinning back-elbows and fight-ending front-kicks to the face.
With Jones set to defend his championship against Machida on December 10 at UFC 140 the UFC has now released a preview for the upcoming event with the tag-line, “Art comes alive.”
Other fights on the card include Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Tito Ortiz and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Frank Mir.
Check out the full clip below:

MMATraining Take: I’ll personally be surprised if Machida is able to dethrone Jones who, to me, is better than “The Dragon” in every phase of the game (including speed/athleticism/power) other than of course Karate which is not necessarily a discipline fighters tend to focus on. The preview looks great though and I’m excited about what should be a highly-entertaining card!
