Jon Jones makes his second defence of the UFC light-heavyweight title against ex-champion Lyoto Machida on December 10.

Jones goes into the UFC 140 main event undefeated in his last five matches and having never lost outright in the Octagon – his one defeat came from a disqualification against Matt Hamill for a downward elbow.

It will be a good fight for striking fans, as Jones' striking has proved effective over the last year, with three of those past five victories coming from punches, knees and elbows. With a reach of 84.5", he's also got the biggest range in the business.

Machida is also a striking specialist, trained in both karate and Jui Jitsu, and has a six percent higher striking accuracy than Bones at 58%. The Dragon lands one less punch a minute, however, and is 6% less successful than his rival at defending strikes with 61%.

Machida, despite losing two of his last three fights, trashed Rashad Evans with a flurry of punches back at UFC 98, and has a range of sumo techniques to call upon should the fight get close enough to grapple.

The UFC's youngest ever champion is a big favourite at 1.222 for the win, while the 33 year-old Machida is offered at 4.850.
