Ufc 151 officially cancelled

Like I said, 8 days notice.

He doesn't have to phone anyone.. He's not a matchmaker, he doesn't promote. They all know why the card was canceled, and who called it all off..

Hating on JJ for the cancellation is a reach, and pushing Chael Sonnen to the forefront at the last hour was desperation.

 

Ok Bob you make a compelling argument...

Now tell that to Rogan

Now the entire UFC card is scrapped because Jones didn't accept a fight with a 185lb'er who is completely out of shape. WOW. Just wow.

He just cost a lot of people a lot of money

 

x1000000000000

 

Just bought my tickets for UFC 152. Wasn't gonna pay just for Mighty Mouse vs Benavidez but adding Jones to the card sealed it for me.

Jones vs Henderson or Jones vs Sonnen would have been better no doubt but Machida gets the fight in Toronto. So **** em.

 

some comical stuff here

 

I do agree to the point Rob, and it's not all Jones fault as injuries do happen. However they came up with a replacement and it wasnt a huge stylistic change for Jones to deal with. He must have trained for the possibility that Hendo would try to take him down, and Chaels stand up and gnp pose no threat of a stoppage like Hendo's anyway I see no other reason to refuse this fight unless Im missing something, especially when the option is to cancel the card all together.

 

Rogan is a #ing clown

JJ is the champ, and not a promoter.. 152 will **** all over that card.

 

I agree with Stoo here. Really disappointed in Jones. Have begrudging respect for Chael.

 

Chael stepped up, Jones stepped down.

Chaels not everyones cup of tea but when it comes to fighting he really does seem willing to fight em all, fight em heart and let the chips fall may the fall.

 

His trainer advised him not to fight on 8 days notice, what do you want him to do??

Do you want JJ to go against the word of his trainer for the sake of everyone else competing that night?

Maybe you don't have much experience in playing for, and or representing a team because you are definitely missing something.

 

Of course not, and Dana has been known to talk **** before. Still will damage his image with some fans regardless, not to mention the locker room and back room staff. Not the best PR move for someone who is perceived as being arrogant...

Beating down Sonnen once and for all would have done wonders for his popularity imo even though he was not deserving of a shot, it would have been a viable stop gap if he knew the card owuld be cancelled or otherwise

Glad we got another re-match for the belt though...

 

****, will somebody PLEASE step up and knock Jon Jones the **** out.

I ****ing hate him with a passion, selfish arrogant *******.

as if one man has caused a whole card to be cancelled.

 

I just can't see how people are defending Jon Jones here, he's the CHAMPION!!! He's supposed to take on all comers.

you don't ****ing turn fights down when your champion, damn i am so pissed off about this
