UFC 135 Preview – Jones Vs. Jackson (+375)
UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has not worn his belt since he won it at UFC 128. He says that he won’t wear it until he beats Rampage Jackson to prove that Jones is the legitimate champion. The sports betting sites are looking forward to this match-up at the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO on September 24. Both of these fighters are formidable and both are fighting for pride.
Online casino betting enthusiasts are wondering about the health of Jon Jones’ hand. The hand injury kept him out of a title defense at UFC 133, and he decided to rest the hand rather than get surgery to repair it. If that was the wrong move, it could cost him dearly in Denver.
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is ready for this bout and is healthy. The 33-year-old former light heavyweight champion says he is more focused on winning the fight than he is on becoming champion again. Jackson is focused and can be very dangerous when he gets the upper-hand in a bout.
The referee won’t be fishing regulations out of the UFC rule book to call this fight. Both of these fighters will come straight ahead and meet each other toe-to-toe. This should be an exciting fight for UFC fans, but it may not last long. Look for Jackson to gain the advantage early and keep the fight going in his favor until he finally gets the win. Jones is a warrior, but his damaged hand will prevent him from successfully defending his title.
Pick: Jackson
