The UFC is returning to Toronto for UFC 165: Jones vs Gustafsson.
On Saturday, September 21st at the Air Canada Centre, Jon “Bones” Jones will take on Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson to defend his lightweight title.
“Jon Jones is re-writing the record book for the light heavyweight division,” UFC President Dana White said (Fightnews.com). “He is one of the pound-for-pound best in the world with a record-tying five straight title defenses by age 25. This bout with Gustafsson is an awesome fight. Alex is a big man plus he’s mean and hungry – and excited for the opportunity to fight Jones.”
Other fights on the card include:
Barao vs Wineland
Ricci vs Jury
Menjivar vs Yamamoto
Guelmino vs Omielanczuk
Clements vs Thompson
