Jon Jones has proven that he's the best young light heavyweight in mixed martial arts. Now he'll get a chance to prove that he's the best light heavyweight of any age.In a battle of the UFC's two best light heavyweight prospects, Jones dominated Ryan Bader at UFC 126, thoroughly controlling him in the first round and then forcing him to tap out with a guillotine choke in the second. Then, after the fight, UFC announcer Joe Rogan revealed that Jones will get the next shot at light heavyweight champion Shogun Rua, replacing the injured Rashad Evans.
"It's my time, I'm hungry and I'm going for it," Jones said after the fight.
