UFC 128 Main Event Breakdown: Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua vs. Jon Jones

Filed under: UFC

NEWARK, N.J. -- On Friday, temperatures in the city rose above 70 degrees for the first time since last fall. Spring is breaking in the northeast. There is a feeling of freshness, out with the old, in with the new. If you believe in symbolic value, it's a good sign for Jon Jones. At 23 years old, the light-heavyweight title challenger could become the youngest champion in UFC history with a win on Saturday night.

Standing in his way is proud champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, not an old lion by any means at the age of just 29, yet considered a battle-hardened veteran in a division he's been at the forefront of since the middle of last decade.

Rua is an underdog in the fight according to linesmakers and bettors, but before we crown Jones, we have to acknowledge that there are questions surrounding the wunderkind.
