?? THIS DAY IN MMA: The ONLY UFC Event Ever Cancelled — UFC 151
AUGUST 23, 2012
14 years ago today, the UFC did something it had never done before:
Cancelled an entire event.
UFC 151 was supposed to feature Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson for the light heavyweight championship.
Then everything fell apart.
?? Henderson suffered a partial MCL tear and withdrew.
?? The UFC needed an emergency replacement.
?? Chael Sonnen said YES.
? Jon Jones declined to fight Sonnen on just eight days’ notice.
Dana White pulled the plug on the entire UFC 151 card.
White called it one of the lowest moments of his UFC presidency and famously blamed Jones and coach Greg Jackson for the collapse of the event.
14 YEARS LATER — WAS JON JONES RIGHT TO TURN DOWN CHAEL ON 8 DAYS’ NOTICE? ??
