The second (and last) UFC event for the month of September comes with TWO title fights. #1 ranked P4P fighter and current Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones takes on #1 contender from Sweden, Alexander Gustafsson. It's a fight that I've been interested in seeing for a little bit, so it's pretty cool that it's happening now. Jones has obviously been on a huge tear lately, just ripping everyone apart but Gustafsson has been on the come up for awhile now. I think there are some aspects of Gustafsson's game that will give Jones some problems. Jones looks unbeatable right now, but you never know.
Also live from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto is an Interim Bantamweight title fight that was originally scheduled for UFC 161. Champion Renan Barão takes on #4 ranked Eddie Wineland. Barão has been on a roll himself, staying undefeated for over 20 fights and finishing his last opponent, Michael McDonald by arm triangle. It's hard to tell who will be a real test for him. Wineland has won his last two, last wining a split decision over top-10 ranked Brad Pickett at UFC 155. This will be Renan Barão's second defense of the title.
