UFC 159 Fight Card

After three weeks in a row of UFC fights, a whole season 17 of The Ultimate Fighter and a fight that could of been but wasn't at the cancelled UFC 151 we finally get to see light heavyweight Champion  Jon "Bones" Jones step into the octagon and put his belt on the line against Chael Sonnen at UFC 159 going down Saturday April 27th at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.The king of trash talk, Chael Sonnen started trying to get into Jones head just over a month ago and while we have not heard much of Jones feeding into it he did finally speak out during an interview accusing Sonnen of taking steroids his whole career and that is why he has to take TRT now. Jones did end up apologizing on Twitter the next day for the accusations, maybe not realizing Sonnen's trash talk has gotten to him more then her really thought.The co-main event will feature a grudge match between middleweights Michael Bisping and Alan Belcher. Both men have trash talked each other through the media so be prepared to watch a war with these two in the octagon.  Other fights on the main card will showcase a battle of UFC veteran vs. Strikeforce import Jim Miller and Pat Healy, Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis vs Vinny Magalhaes, Past TUF coach and winner Roy "Big Country" Nelson vs Cheick Kong.The Prelims will showcase a woman's bout against bantamweights Sara McMann vs Shiela "The German Tank" Gaff. Sara has spoken out previously about Ronda Rousey saying she doesn't see Rousey as an unstoppable force. Both McMann and Rousey have olympic medals. Rousey with Judo in 2008 and McMann in wrestling back in 2004. McMann thinks she will be a "really good match-up" for "Rowdy" inside the cage  However, Sara will have to wait for a bit for the fight with Rousey since she the rest of the year is mapped out already for Ronda with The Ultimate Fighter season 18 where she is coaching up against Cat Zingano.
