UFC 128: Shogun vs. Jones was a mixed fighting styles pay-per-view event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on March 19, 2011, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Quickly after the bout with Bader, it was disclosed that title contender and Jones’s training partner Rashad Evans had actually endured a knee injury in training, as well as would certainly not be able to complete in his scheduled suit with UFC light heavyweight champ Maurício “Shogun” Rua. Jones was told by Joe Rogan in the post-fight meeting that he would certainly change Evans in the defend the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship

After a very early flying knee that terribly injured the champ, Shogun was controlled throughout the three rounds. A body shot and also knee to the head dropped the champion to his knees, triggering the referee to action in as well as stop the suit. Jones defeated Rua by TKO at 2:37 of Round 3, coming to be the youngest-ever UFC champ.
