Rising Ultimate Fighting Championship star Jon "Bones" Jones has captivated the fight world with a dynamic style that has already led him to wins over Brandon Vera and Stephan Bonnar. But on Sunday, August 1st, at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, CA, the light heavyweight phenom will be put to the test like never before by former world title challenger Vladimir Matyushenko, a hard-nosed veteran who has the power and the style to derail Jones and move one step closer to a shot at a world title.
