Jon Jones vs. Glover Teixeira title fight booked for UFC Super Bowl Weekend in New Jersey

The UFC Light heavyweight champion has his next opponent set.   His next title defense will NOT be a rematch with Alexander Gustafsson, instead “Bones” will battle the unstoppable Glover Teixeira at UFC Super Bowl Weekend.

UFC President Dana White confirmed the booking via ESPN and is expected to go down in February of 2014 in New Jersey.

Jon Jones states:  “I’m going to fight Glover and I will answer all the critics about the Gustafsson fight. I will fight Gustafsson after I fight Glover. I won the fight but I look at it as a blemish on my record because some people think I didn’t. I promise you, he will be next.”

No official date or destination has been set for this title-match.
