UFC Disaster: Jon Jones/Henderson fight cancelled 1 week before fight

[djcon57]

Dan tore his knee.

They offered Chael a title shot and Jones correctly turned it down.

Now Dana White is burrying Jones. Ridiculous.

Jones will be fighting Machida at UFC 152 on September 22nd in Toronto.

The phrase "Nothing to gain, everything to lose" comes to mind. Sucks for the fans, but smart decision by Jones.

Wow... Jon Jones will now forever be known as the guy who ducked Sonnen...

 

[qdawgg]

Jones will now be the most hated man in UFC, not only by the fans but by the fighters as well. Terrible move IMO. UFC is not a sport that you can pick and choose who you fight, when it looks like your ducking somebody, and then on top of it a whole event has to be cancelled as a result of your decision; really bad decision.

Also UFC's fault for making such a crappy card that they had to can the whole thing because Jones wouldn't fight. And what has Sonnen done to deserve a shot at the title? Lose a lot?

Looks like Machida refused the fight. What a coward!!

Also, Hendo was injured 3 weeks ago and didn't tell the UFC until it was absolutely certain he couldn't do it.
