Dana White quickly quashed the rumours that Jon Jones would be fighting Rashad Evans at UFC 140 and, less than a day later, has gone on record and announced what will be top of the card on December 10th.
Jones vs. Evans was originally to take place at UFC 133 but an injury to the champion took him out of that fight and Tito Ortiz stepped up to meet the TUF winner and was soundly dismissed with a brutal TKO.
The rehab on Rashad Evans’s surgery, after the Tito Ortiz fight, means that he will have to wait even longer to meet up with Jon Jones that originally thought.
