T-minus four days and "counting..."
"Countdown" to UFC 165 lit up the airwaves tonight (Weds., Sept. 18, 2013) on FOX Sports 1 to help promote the upcoming pay-per-view (PPV) event scheduled for this Saturday night (Sept. 21, 2013) at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
And it's a "tall" order -- nearly 13' of combined height in the main event.
That's right, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones will actually enter the Octagon as the shorter man when he defends his 205-pound title against No. 1-ranked division contender, Alexander Gustafsson.
Size isn't everything, though.
In the co-main event of the evening, interim Bantamweight champion Renan Barao will put his 135-pound belt on the line against Eddie Wineland, while Heavyweight sluggers Matt Mitrione and Brendan Schaub will fill-out the top portion of the five-fight PPV main card.
Check out the "Countdown" replay to the Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson main event above and the other two aforementioned marquee matches below.
Enjoy!
