The UFC 140 card is finally set. The event will take place on December 10th in the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario. While it obviously won't draw as many fans as UFC 129 did, Toronto is a very hot market for MMA and this event should do very well, even without a Canadian in the main event. Speaking of the main event, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will fight for the fourth time in 11 months when he defends his title against former champion Lyoto Machida. Along with that, there will be a rematch between Frank Mir and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in the co-main spot. Here is the card so far (preliminary card is after the jump):
Dec 10th, live on pay-per-view from Toronto, Ontario:
Jon Jones (14-1) vs. Lyoto Machida (17-2)
Frank Mir (15-5) vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (33-6, 1 NC)
Tito Ortiz (16-9-1) vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (19-5)
