Saturday’s UFC 135 from Denver, Colorado saw 20 fighters put it all on the line to enter the Octagon. Today the Colorado Office of Boxing issued its medical suspensions for UFC 135 that included the light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, along with 11 others.
UFC 135 packed the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado for a 10 bout fight card that was headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Quinton “rampage” Jackson. Returning to the home of first two UFC events, the 135th (184th overall) event saw a broken jaw, a sleepy zombie, a Hall of Famer potentially fight for the last time and a champion has his “special day” ruined again.
The UFC heads to the high altitude of Denver, Colorado for Saturday’s UFC 135: Jones vs. Rampage with a light heavyweight title fight anchoring the card. Returning to the location of the first two Ultimate Fighting Championships, it’s the promotions fourth trip to Denver and sixth trip overall to Colorado.
Say what you will about UFC 135, but this card has me excited, not just as a bettor, but as a hardcore fan. The entire main card is worth the price of admission, with a theme of the night being grizzled veterans and new generation fighters. One such bout is the title fight, and while it isn’t the bout we should have had, former champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson will look to take out rising superstar Jon Jones in his first defense of the belt. The real question is, how can we cash in on these fights?
