On of the best referees in the sport, Herb Dean, got the call to be the official for Saturday’s main event bout at UFC 128 according to MMAFighting.com. The bout, which takes place in Newark, New Jersey, will see Shogun Rua take on the fast rising Jon Jones. Shogun will look to add another name to his legendary resume, while the young Jones will look to take the next step to superstardom. If the unthinkable happens and the Rua vs. Jones bout goes to decision, Douglas Crobsy, Cardo Urso and Dave Tirelli will be scoring the bout at cageside.

The “Countdown to UFC 128″ show premieres tonight at 11 pm ET on Spike TV. Main event participants Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Jon Jones will be highlighted as they prepare for their light-heavyweight title fight in Newark, New Jersey. Urijah Faber & Eddie Wineland will also be featured on the special, along with Mirko Cro Cop and Brendan Schaub who will discuss their upcoming heavyweight bout.

The move was expected, but it has now become a reality. The UFC will permanently change pay-per-view start times to 9pm ET beginning on April 30 with UFC 129.

In addition, major Canadian MMA markets in Toronto and Montreal are among six of the 10 most populated cities in Canada [...]
