'''''UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida''''' was a [[mixed martial arts]] event held by the [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]] on December 10, 2011 at the [[Air Canada Centre]] in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada.  It was the penultimate event for the UFC in 2011.  The event featured eight bouts televised internationally, seven preliminary bouts aired on cable in the United States and Canada, and three preliminary bouts streamed live on [[Facebook]].
In the co-main event, [[Frank Mir]], who was the first man to knock out [[Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira]] at [[UFC 92]], became the first man to submit Nogueira.  Mir accomplished the feat with a [[kimura lock|kimura]] that ultimately broke Nogueira's arm. In the main event, [[Lyoto Machida]] also suffered his first submission loss at the hands of [[Jon Jones]].  In doing so, Jones retained the [[UFC Light Heavyweight Championship]] title.
==Background==
A bout between [[Lyoto Machida]] and [[Phil Davis (fighter)|Phil Davis]] was initially announced by UFC President, [[Dana White]], to happen at ''UFC 140''.  However, White, after discovering that Davis was still recovering from a knee injury, admitted to "[jumping] the gun" on the announcement .<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/25430/ufc-140-adds-phil-davis-vs-lyoto-machida.mma |title=UFC 140 briefly adds Phil Davis vs. Lyoto Machida, but UFC boss 'jumped gun' |publisher=MMAJunkie.com |date=September 27, 2011 |access-date=March 25, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929135828/http://mmajunkie.com/news/25430/ufc-140-adds-phil-davis-vs-lyoto-machida.mma |archive-date=September 29, 2011 }}</ref>  Early reports also included a Light Heavyweight Championship bout between [[Jon Jones]] and [[Rashad Evans]].  First, Evans would need to be medically cleared following an operation that required pins to be inserted into his right hand due to an injury during his technical knockout victory over [[Tito Ortiz]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/10/05/ufc-targeting-jon-jones-vs-rashad-evans-for-ufc-140-main-event |title=UFC Targeting Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans for UFC 140 Main Event |first=Mike |last=Chiappetta |publisher=MMAFighting.com |date=October 5, 2012 |access-date=March 25, 2012}}</ref>  When it became clear that Evans would not be ready for the fight, he was replaced by Machida for the championship bout.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/25561/ufc-140-headliner-features-champ-jon-jones-vs-lyoto-machida.mma |title=UFC 140 headliner features champ Jon Jones vs. Lyoto Machida |publisher=MMAJunkie.com |date=October 7, 2011 |access-date=March 25, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120730203447/http://mmajunkie.com/news/25561/ufc-140-headliner-features-champ-jon-jones-vs-lyoto-machida.mma |archive-date=July 30, 2012 }}</ref>
Jon Jones had won the [[UFC Light Heavyweight Championship]] earlier in the year after defeating [[Maurício Rua]] at ''[[UFC 128]]'' by technical knockout.  Six months later, Jones defended the title after submitting [[Quinton Jackson]], a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, at ''[[UFC 135]]''.  Lyoto Machida was himself a former UFC Light Heavyweight champion, having won the title via a knock out win over [[Rashad Evans]] at ''[[UFC 98]]'' in 2009.  Machida lost the title a year later to Maurício Rua at ''[[UFC 113]]'', the same man from whom Jones won the title  in Rua's next outing.  Machida's only career losses were to Rua and Jackson, both of whom Jones had beaten earlier in 2011.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/7067623/jon-jones-gets-lyoto-machida-ufc-light-heavy-defense |title=Jon Jones' defense vs. Lyoto Machida |first=Franklin |last=McNeil |publisher=ESPN |date=October 6, 2012 |access-date=March 25, 2012}}</ref>
The co-main event was a rematch between [[Frank Mir]] and [[Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira]]. The two had fought about three years prior, when Nogueira was the [[UFC Heavyweight Championship|Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion]], at ''[[UFC 92]]'' . In that match, Mir became the first person to defeat Nogueria by stoppage, due to a technical knockout in the second round.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/6941597/rematch-frank-mir-antonio-rodrigo-nogueira-set-ufc-140 |title=Frank Mir to fight at UFC 140 |first=Brett |last=Okamoto |publisher=ESPN |date=September 7, 2011 |access-date=March 26, 2012}}</ref>
Another headlining fight involved Nogueira's twin brother, [[Antônio Rogério Nogueira]], who faced off against [[Tito Ortiz]]. The pair were originally scheduled to fight at a [[UFC Fight Night: Nogueira vs. Davis|UFC Fight Night]] in March 2011. However, when Ortiz withdrew due to an injury, he was replaced by [[Phil Davis (fighter)|Phil Davis]]. Plans for ''UFC 140'' initially paired Ortiz against [[Rich Franklin]].  Shoulder surgery required Franklin to withdraw from the fight; Franklin was replaced by Ortiz's original opponent from eight months prior, Nogueira.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/mma/post/2011-09-09/ortiz-vs-lil-nog-added-to-ufc-140/546705/1 |title=Ortiz vs. Lil Nog added to UFC 140 |first=Sergio |last=Non |publisher=USA Today |date=September 9, 2011 |access-date=March 26, 2012}}</ref>
[[Rory MacDonald (fighter)|Rory MacDonald]] was expected to face [[Brian Ebersole]] at the event.  However, on November 8, MacDonald pulled out of the bout because of injury and was replaced by [[Claude Patrick]].  Patrick was originally scheduled to face [[Rich Attonito]] on the preliminary card of the event.<ref name="Ebersole/Patrick">{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/26004/rory-macdonald-out-claude-patrick-in-against-brian-ebersole-at-ufc-140.mma |title=Rory MacDonald out, Claude Patrick in against Brian Ebersole at UFC 140 |publisher=MMAJunkie.com |date=November 8, 2011 |access-date=November 8, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111110013806/http://mmajunkie.com/news/26004/rory-macdonald-out-claude-patrick-in-against-brian-ebersole-at-ufc-140.mma |archive-date=November 10, 2011 }}</ref> [[Rich Attonito]] remained on the preliminary card and faced UFC newcomer [[Jake Hecht]].<ref name="attonitohecht">{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/26041/rich-attonito-meets-newcomer-jake-hecht-at-ufc-140.mma |title=Rich Attonito meets newcomer Jake Hecht at UFC 140 |access-date=2011-11-10 |publisher=mmajunkie.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112055551/http://mmajunkie.com/news/26041/rich-attonito-meets-newcomer-jake-hecht-at-ufc-140.mma |archive-date=2011-11-12 }}</ref> [[Dennis Hallman]] missed the weight allowance for his lightweight return, weighing in at 158.5 pounds.

==Event==
''UFC 140'' consisted of twelve mixed martial arts bouts sanctioned by Ontario's Athletics Commissioner under the MMA rules established by the [[New Jersey State Athletic Control Board]] and often referred to as the [[Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts]].<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://news.ontario.ca/mcs/en/2010/08/mixed-martial-arts-in-ontario.html |title=Mixed Martial Arts In Ontario |publisher=Ontario, Canada |date=August 14, 2010 |access-date=March 27, 2012}}</ref>  The non-championship bouts were held for three five-minute rounds.

===Preliminary card===
The first fight of the evening was between [[Mitch Clarke]] and [[John Cholish]]. In the second round, Clarke attempted to take down Cholish. During the scramble, Cholish managed to take Clarke's back. Cholish flattened Clarke out and began striking Clarke until referee [[John McCarthy (mixed martial arts)|John McCarthy]] stopped the fight.<ref name="USATodayPrelim">{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/mma/post/2011-12-10/ufc-140-prelims/582524/1 |title=UFC 140: Pokrajac, Philippou, Hecht win early fights |first=Sergio |last=Non |publisher=USA Today |date=December 10, 2011 |access-date=March 27, 2012}}</ref> Cholish won the fight at 4:36 of the second round, due to a technical knockout, giving Clarke his first ever professional MMA loss.
[[Rich Attonito]] faced [[Jake Hecht]] in the second bout of the night.  Attonito controlled the fight in the first round following a takedown and damaged Hecht while on top of him.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/12/11/2628761/ufc-140-results-recap-rich-attonito-vs-jake-hecht |title=UFC 140 Results Recap: Rich Attonito vs. Jake Hecht |first=Brent |last=Brookhouse |publisher=BloodyElbow.com |date=December 11, 2011 |access-date=March 27, 2012}}</ref>  Attonito attempted a take down again in the second round, but Hecht hit Attonito in the temple with elbow strikes while defending the takedown.

Canadian native [[Mark Bocek]]'s fight with [[Nik Lentz]] lasted the full three rounds.  Bocek was able to take Lentz down at will and was consistently on top of Lentz throughout the fight. Lentz was not very active from the bottom, although he was able to prevent Bocek from passing his guard. Lentz attempted to apply a guillotine choke several times, but was unsuccessful in submitting Bocek.  The judges' decision went to Mark Bocek, 30–27, resulting in Lentz suffering his first loss in the UFC.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/26488/ufc-140-results-mark-bocek-vs-nik-lentz.mma |title=UFC 140 results: Mark Bocek delivers Nik Lentz his first UFC loss |first1=Dann |last1=Stupp |first2=John |last2=Morgan |publisher=MMAJunkie.com |date=December 10, 2011 |access-date=March 27, 2012}}</ref>
In the first bout of the night that aired on cable television, [[Yves Jabouin]] faced [[Walel Watson]] in the second fight of the night to go the full distance. Most of the fight was held with both fighters on their feet. Watson made use of his longer reach and height to strike from a distance, with Jabouin attempting to get in close to land harder strikes. The second and third rounds also saw Watson attempt to submit his opponent with chokes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/12/11/2628926/ufc-140-results-recap-yves-jabouin-vs-walel-watson |title=UFC 140 Results Recap: Yves Jabouin vs. Walel Watson |first=Brent |last=Brookhouse |publisher=BloodyElbow.com |date=December 11, 2011 |access-date=March 27, 2012}}</ref> In the end, the judges scored the bout a split decision in favor of Yves Jabouin.<ref name="USATodayPrelim" />
[[John Makdessi]] then faced [[Dennis Hallman]] in a catchweight bout due to Hallman's failure to make weight for the fight. Within seconds of the start of the fight, Hallman was able to take Makdessi down, mounted him and began to [[ground and pound]] Makdessi. Makdessi rolled over in an attempt to defend himself, resulting in Hallman taking his back and applying a rear-naked choke. Dennis Hallman gave John Makdessi his first career loss due to submission with the rear-naked choke at 2:58 of the first round. Afterwards, Hallman stated his win should have an asterisk, since he was overweight for the fight.<ref name="USATodayPrelim" />
A middleweight fight between [[Jared Hamman]] and [[Costas Philippou]] also ended in the first round. Philippou was able repeatedly to hit Hamman with powerful right hand punches causing Hamman to fall to the mat at least four times. The last punch resulted in Hamman falling face first to the mat, at which point John McCarthy ended the fight.<ref name="USATodayPrelim" /> Costas Philippou earned his second straight UFC victory by defeating Jared Hamman at 3:11 of the first round via knockout.
The final bout of the preliminary card consisted of light heavyweights [[Krzysztof Soszynski]] and [[Igor Pokrajac]]. Pokrajac immediately came after Soszynski with punches that staggered and backed Soszynski up to the cage.  Soszynski fell to the ground under the rapid series of strikes and covered up to protect himself. Thirty-five seconds into the first round, referee Yves Lavigne stopped the fight, giving Igor Pokrajac the knockout victory.<ref name="USATodayPrelim" />
===Main card===
The first bout of the evening that aired on the pay-per-view broadcast was a featherweight bout between [[Mark Hominick]] and [[Chan Sung Jung]]. At the start, Hominick threw a wild left punch that missed Jung. Jung responded with a straight right that connected and sent Hominick to the ground. Jung followed Hominick down with follow-up punches that resulted in the referee stopping the match.  In a tie for the second fastest official knockout in UFC history, Chan Sung Jung defeated Mark Hominick by knockout seven seconds into the first round.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/26493/ufc-140-results-mark-hominick-vs-chan-sung-jung.mma |title=UFC 140 results: Chan Sung Jung stuns Mark Hominick with seven-second TKO |first1=Dann |last1=Stupp |first2=John |last2=Morgan |publisher=MMAJunkie.com |date=December 10, 2011 |access-date=April 1, 2012}}</ref> The win also earned Jung the event's "Knockout of the Night" award.
Welterweights [[Claude Patrick]] and [[Brian Ebersole]] then faced each other. The first two rounds of the fight consisted of a lot of [[clinch fighting]] up against the cage with occasional grappling on the ground. The third round occurred mostly on the ground, with Patrick making submission attempts at the start and end of the round, while in between Ebersole was on top striking down at his opponent.  After all three rounds of the fight were completed, a split decision victory was given to Brian Ebersole.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/12/10/ufc-140-brian-ebersole-beats-claude-patrick-by-split-decision#2909996 |title=UFC 140: Brian Ebersole Beats Claude Patrick by Split Decision |first=Michael David |last=Smith |date=10 December 2011 |publisher=MMAFighting.com |access-date=April 1, 2012}}</ref>
[[Tito Ortiz]] and [[Antônio Rogério Nogueira]] then participated in their light heavyweight fight. Ortiz early striking pushed Nogueira back. Nogueira managed to counter Ortiz's attack and reversed the situation, pushing Ortiz back. Nogueira then dropped Ortiz with a knee to the body and began pounding on him. Nogueira threw punches to Ortiz's body and when Ortiz failed to respond to the attack the referee stopped the fight.  The result was Antônio Rogério Nogueira earning a technical knockout victory at 3:15 of the first round.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mmamania.com/2011/12/11/2627641/ufc-140-results-recap-antonio-rogerio-nogueira-vs-tito-ortiz-fight |title=UFC 140 results recap: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs Tito Ortiz fight review and analysis |first=Brian |last=Hemminger |publisher=MMAMania.com |date=December 11, 2011 |access-date=April 1, 2012}}</ref>
The co-main event then occurred with heavyweights [[Frank Mir]] fighting [[Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira]]. During the first round, Nogueira hit Mir with a punch that staggered Mir. Nogueira furthered his attack by attempting to take Mir's back and apply a choke submission. After some [[ground and pound]] Mir escaped from under Nogueira, grabbed Nogueira's right arm and attempted a [[kimura lock]]. The pair rolled over several times as Nogueira attempted to escape the submission hold, but Mir held tightly onto Nogueira's arm. Nogueira refused to tap out to the submission attempt until Mir broke his arm. The official decision was that Frank Mir defeated Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira by technical submission due to the kimura at 3:38 of the first round. As a result of this fight, Mir was awarded the event's "Submission of the Night" and earned the distinction of not only being the first man to knock out Nogueira, but also the first to submit him.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/mma/post/2011-12-10/nogueira-mir-ufc-140/582590/1 |title=Mir breaks Nogueira's arm at UFC 140 |first=Sergio |last=Non |publisher=USA Today |date=December 10, 2011 |access-date=April 1, 2012}}</ref>
The last bout of the evening was the Light Heavyweight Championship bout, in which [[Lyoto Machida]] attempted to take the title away from [[Jon Jones]]. Throughout the first round and a half it was a fairly even fight. Jones threw kicks and other strikes at Machida and Machida effectively countered the attacks. In the second round, Jones opened a gash on Machida's forehead, at which point the referee, [[John McCarthy (mixed martial arts)|John McCarthy]], suspended the match for the cage-side doctor to look at it. The doctor cleared Machida to continue fighting. After the restart, Jones was able to stun Machida with a punch and was able to apply a standing [[guillotine choke]]. Machida refused to tap out and fell to the floor unconscious when Jones released him as the ref stopped the bout. Jon Jones retained his title via technical submission at 4:26 of the second round.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.chron.com/sports/article/Jones-retains-light-heavweyight-title-at-UFC-140-2395183.php |title=Jones retains light heavyweight title at UFC 140 |publisher=Houston Chronicle / AP |date=December 10, 2011 |access-date=April 1, 2012}}</ref>  It became the first time that Machida had been submitted in a professional fight.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/jeff_wagenheim/12/11/ufc-140/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120113135759/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/jeff_wagenheim/12/11/ufc-140/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 13, 2012 |title=UFC 140: Jones slays 'The Dragon' to cap breakthrough year |first=Jeff |last=Wagenheim |date=December 11, 2011 |access-date=April 2, 2012}}</ref>  This championship fight was also awarded the event's "Fight of the Night".
==Aftermath==
[[Rashad Evans]] was one of the opponents whom [[Jon Jones]] was initially reported to fight at this event. That match for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship eventually occurred at ''[[UFC 145]]'' on April 21, 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mmamania.com/2012/1/28/2755574/ufc-145-jon-jones-vs-rashad-evans-main-event-set-for-atlanta-on-april |title=Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans main event set for Atlanta on April 21 |last=Myers |first=Thomas |publisher=MMAMania.com |date=January 28, 2012|access-date=January 28, 2012}}</ref>
[[Frank Mir]]'s victory over [[Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira]] moved him one step closer to a championship fight of his own. April 4, 2012, [[Alistair Overeem]] was revealed to have failed his pre-fight drug test by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). He tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone that exceeded a ratio of 10-to-1, which was over the allowed ratio of 6-to-1. On Friday April 20, 2012, UFC President Dana White confirmed that Overeem has been removed from his fight with Dos Santos and replaced by Frank Mir.
