In his post fight interview, Jones was told that the UFC wanted him to be the replacement of Rashad Evans (who is currently had knee injury) in the fight for the Light Heavyweight Championship against the Champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Jones accepted and the fight is scheduled on March 19, 2011.
UFC 128: Shogun vs. Jones will take place in Newark, New Jersey.
