Stay connected for news and updates

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones is doing the media rounds this week as part of the upcoming UFC 152 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for Sept. 22, 2012 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Topics covered included why "Bones" turned down a fight against Chael Sonnen at UFC 151, how he's become "closer to Christ" in spite of his career in combat sports, his beef with Quinton Jackson and what it's like to come from a household of athletes.

Jones will put his 205-pound strap on the line against Vitor Belfort, who stepped in for this weekend's headliner when few others would. "The Phenom" is bumping up from middleweight to take advantage of this last-minute opportunity, which all started with a recent injury to Dan Henderson.
