Hendricks vs. Lawler fight for the vacant title at UFC 171

With now former welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre relinquishing his title for a personal hiatus the UFC will crown a new welterweight champion March 15, 2014 in Dallas, TX. Whoever wins this fight will be the undisputed champion. This fight is not an interim title fight. Should St. Pierre return he will return as a challenger. Robbie Lawler has gone 3-0 since returning to welterweight most recently beating Rory MacDonald. Johny Hendricks fought to a controversial split decision loss to St. Pierre last November. They're expected to take the co main event slot right under Jones vs. Teixeira. 

Jones vs. Teixeira gets rescheduled for UFC 171

Jon Jones vs. Glover Teixeira gets postponed yet again. Jones is coming off a war with Alexander Gustafsson in which he narrowly escaped while Teixeira is riding a 22-fight winning streak which include wins over Ryan Bader and 'Rampage' Jackson. This fight will headline the event and is scheduled for March 15th in Dallas,TX. 

#1 Jones vs. #9 Teixeira gets moved to UFC 170

#1 Jon Jones and #2 Glover Teixeira was rumored to be fighting on the UFC 169 card but it's now been confirmed that both Jones and Teixeira will fight at UFC 170 on February 22nd. Jones is coming off his sixth successful title defense and has been newly crowned the most dominant UFC LH champion of all time. Teixeira is riding a 22 fight winning streak going into his title fight with LH champion Jones. 



Note; this fight is now in the 'upcoming fights' page.

#1 Jones vs. #10 Teixeira headlines UFC 169

#1 Jon Jones will attempt to defend his title for a record setting 7th time against #10 Glover Teixeira, who hasn't lost in 20 fights. This is the first fight announced for 2014 which will take place on February 1st in Newark, New Jersey. The Prudential center is the closest thing to Jones' hometown since MMA is still banned in New York. Jones is coming off the toughest fight of his career in barely defeating #2 Alexander Gustafsson by one point while Teixeira is coming of a first round knockout victory over #11 Ryan Bader. 

Note: this fight has been added to the 'UPCOMING FIGHTS' tab where the rest of the top 15 fights are listed.
