Jon Jones out of UFC 151???

CanuckG · 08-23-12, 01:59 PM

Looks like no UFC 151 at all.

leafs_ducks · 08-23-12, 02:00 PM

Did Jones chicken out?

BIGDAY · 08-23-12, 02:00 PM

Hendo KO's him anyway.

Bones Jones is Ducking Hendo.

Smart move by Jones.

Chong Wizard · 08-23-12, 02:02 PM

lol Hendo got "injured"... then Jones didn't wanna fight Sonnen on 8 days notice...

swervv · 08-23-12, 02:02 PM

CanuckG · 08-23-12, 02:02 PM

UFC 151 has been canceled after an injury to light heavyweight contender Dan Henderson forced him to pull out of the main event against champion Jon Jones.

Jones would tell Hendo how he would knock him out and then do it exactly the way he said.

u can send my check to PO box 198. EH NJ. Rent is due the first, so preferably by then. Thanks.

What a Pussy. I wish they could of just made it an all free card on FX though and given ticket buyers a partial refund. I imagine they'd lose a lot less money then they are going to now. Feel bad for the guys who actually need the money to pay bills.

Vaughany · 08-23-12, 02:24 PM

ha undercard fighters piiiiiiiiised

Dad · 08-23-12, 02:31 PM

Dana: "We've never ever had a fighter refuse to fight a guy... every day, crazy shit happens, here's a new crazy one for us."

Dad · 08-23-12, 02:32 PM

Dana White: I don't know what to expect from Jon Jones anymore. He just selfishly made a terrible decision that affects a lot of people.

Dad · 08-23-12, 02:32 PM

Jones said he's not fighting chael on 8 days notice. I did. .... Just sayin

ngates815 · 08-23-12, 02:33 PM

"I'm stunned," White told Yahoo! Sports on Thursday. "We've never had a situation where this happened before, where a champion wouldn't step up to fight."

"Chael's been out there talking all this crazy [expletive] about Jones, but he proved that he not only talks the talk, he walks the walk," White said. "I offered the fight to a couple of guys, and believe me when I tell you, nobody wants to fight Jon Jones on [short] notice. Nobody. But when I called Chael, that crazy [expletive] said, 'Not only will I fight him, but I'll get on a plane and fight him at Mandalay Bay tonight, if that's what you want.' "

Never liked Chael Sonnen, but tough not to like him now.

Vaughany · 08-23-12, 02:42 PM

John Albert - "am so livid right now I was the biggest Jon jones fan but not anymore that guy is bad for the sport his fans and other fighters he doesn't Fans might be refunded UFC tickets what about plane or hotel this is super frustrating as a fighter and a fan of mma... Our livelihood and we survive by fighting and all the hard work those 20 other fighters put in are goin to waste utterly disgusted"

It's nuts how much shit Dana talks when he gets emotional (which is all the time). What happened to Shogun supposedly refusing to fight Glover? I'm sure there's a tonne of other incidents where Dana's said "x refused to fight y".

It is shitty though.

i think he was saying that they never had a champion turn down a fight.

Rumour is that all the other contenders were asked before Sonnen but they all declined. Why did they decline you ask? Because they all cycle roids and other illegal substances so they would fail the drug test.

At least Sonnen (with his doctors certificate for low testosterone) isn't going above and beyond what he is allowed.

And Jones just lost quite a bit of credibility and marketability with refusing to fight.
