UFC 159: Fight Card

This weekend brings the UFC’s next big pay-per-view event, UFC 159 live from New Jersey and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.

Of course the event is headlined by a light-heavyweight title fight between TUF 17 coaches Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen.

Backing them up is a compelling co-main event between middleweight challengers Michael Bisping And Alan Belcher who’ll get a chance to settle their differences in the Octagon after plenty of pre-fight trash-talking antics.

Meanwhile, in the heavyweight division it’s a battle of heavy-hitters as Roy Nelson takes on Cheick Kongo.

Further down the main card Phil Davis will look to back up his claim that wrestling is a superior art-form to Brazilian jiu-jitsu when he locks horns with Vinny Magalhaes.

And finally, Jim Miller will attempt to continue his climb back to the top of the lightweight division as he welcomes former Strikeforce fighter Pat Healy to the Octagon.
