We’ve known for several months now that UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones would next put his belt on the line against Chael Sonnen following the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.

UFC officials on Wednesday, however, confirmed that Jones vs. Sonnen would headline UFC 159 on April 27. The event also marks the promotion’s return to the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

The two will first head up Season 17 of The Ultimate Fighter.

Jones and Sonnen will coach opposite each other when TUF on FX kicks off in its new Tuesday night timeslot on Jan. 22 with a two-hour premiere.

Willy the Coyote 58 Edited: 01/09/13 4:38 PM Member Since: 10/9/05 Posts: 8792	Will not watch. This fight is exactly what is wrong with the current direction of the UFC. A champ like Jones should not have back to back fights against failed MW contenders. Especially with guys like Hendo and Gus around. You have ignored this user.

KneeToFaceKO 134 Member Since: 9/23/08 Posts: 5500	Chael is a cheating loudmouth whose time has come and gone. Great at selling fights but a true martial artist he is not, IMHO. I hope he gets some respect knocked INTO him. Will not be sad when he is gone and a great example of what is wrong with the sport we love. You have ignored this user.

Another Foob 14 Member Since: 12/31/11 Posts: 168	When they first announced the fight, I thought it was whack. But, now I think, meh, what's the big deal? If Chael gets smashed in a minute, then we can complain. You have ignored this user.
