Suddenly, Jon Jones has another credible opponent.
The light heavyweight champ is barely removed from a controversial decision in a 205-pound title defense, but was conveniently positioned at cage-side for UFC Fight Night 167 on Saturday night when Corey Anderson and Jan Blachowicz made their cases to rise from respective No. 5 and No. 6 positions in the rankings.
One of them did in sudden fashion, but we'll have no spoilers here.
Elsewhere, we learned that the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, N.M., is some 5,282 feet above sea level—two feet higher than Denver—a factor that worked to the advantage of some local fighters on the card.
