Dec. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- LAS VEGAS – XYIENCE, maker of Xenergy, the official energy drink of the UFC, is wrapping up 2011 with two huge victories for Team XYIENCE athletes Jon “Bones” Jones and Frank Mir at UFC® 140: Jones vs. Machida on Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011, at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada.  In the main event, Jones (15-1) retained his UFC light heavyweight championship title for a second time with his victory by standing submission over Lyoto Machida in the second round.  It was his fourth consecutive victory this year.

Frank Mir (16-5-0) added another victory to his now three-win streak by defeating Antonio “Minotauro” Nogueira by submission.  Dana White, UFC president, called Mir’s impressive victory “the submission of the century” at the post fight conference.  Mir, 32, has won seven of his last nine fights and now checks in as one of the top five UFC heavyweights.

“Jones and Mir are extraordinary athletes with focus, drive and heart that inspire millions of fight fans as well as our staff and brand,” says XYIENCE president John Lennon.  “We congratulate them on their well-deserved victories.”

Also on the fight card were Team XYIENCE athletes Mark Hominick and Krzysztof Soszynski, who lost their bouts by getting caught by opponents following aggressive attacks.

“The intense preparation and training that these athletes undergo before stepping into the octagon is incredible,” says Lennon.  “XYIENCE is proud of its entire team for their tireless commitment to becoming the best athletes possible.”
