UFC 135's pay-per-view lineup features five fights, including a headliner pitting UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (13-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) against former champ and current top contender Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (32-8 MMA, 7-2 UFC).
Other bouts slated for the Sept. 24 main card include Matt Hughes (45-8 MMA, 18-6 UFC) vs. Diego Sanchez (23-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC), Rob Broughton (15-5-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Travis Browne (11-0-1 MMA, 2-0-1 UFC), Nate Diaz (13-7 MMA, 8-5 UFC) vs. Takanori Gomi (32-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC) and Mark Hunt (6-7 MMA, 1-1 UFC) vs. Ben Rothwell (31-7 MMA, 1-1 UFC).
The event takes place at Pepsi Center in Denver, Colo. Denver, of course, also hosted the promotion's first two events.
UFC 135 will also feature a pair of bouts on a Spike TV "UFC Prelims" special, though the promotion has yet to announce which contests will fill the broadcast.
The leading candidates for the slots include Aaron Riley vs. Tony Ferguson and Damacio Page vs. Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto.
