The UFC 140 fight card will feature titleholder Jon Jones facing ex-champ Lyoto Machida in a light heavyweight championship bout on Dec. 10 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

Jones, who will be fighting for the fourth time this year, tapped out Quinton "Rampage" Jackson with a rear-naked choke in September and was supposed to face rival Rashad Evans in a grudge match. However, Evans' hand injury will take longer to heal than expected, leading Machida to enter the picture. In his lone fight in 2011, Machida knocked out Randy Couture with a front kick to the face.
