You think a professional boxing champ would take a fight on 8 days notice?
See this MMA shyt is not legit. nikkas are comparing it to fighting outside the fukkin club because someone stepped on your shoe!
Jon Jones has been training to fight Henderson for a couple of months now, its not like he hasnt been working on his stamina, standup, & grappling.
Lennox Lewis fought Vitali Klitschko on two weeks notice, an opponent that was arguably his toughest of his career.
Exactly, so why should he have to fight another opponent on 8 days notice? If someone else wants to do that then whatever, thats their choice but im not gonna hold it against another fighter who doesnt.

I know Hendo didn't have the best shot, but damn, I really wanted to see this

I can see it from both perspectives and as a Jones fan, I'm gonna have to respect his decision because at the end of the day...it was a "Yes" or "No". He had a choice.
It's just as much the UFC's fault for not having another note-worthy fight as the co-main event. In the future, they'll probably do better with the booking in that aspect..
All that being said, the thing that REALLY sucks about UFC 151 being cancelled is that fighters are missing out on paychecks and potential fight bonuses. Fighters put up their own money for their camps, trainers, management, etc. and a lot of them have mortgages, families, various bills. Fighting a few times a year is probably the only thing putting food on some of their tables and they were really depending on that check from 151.
Just sucks all around for everyone.

And that's all I meant by Jones coulda took one for the team... I believe that 8 days was enough time for a fighter of Jones caliber to adjust against Sonnen

I find it amazing that people got mad at Jones for not wanting to fight Chael...Why would he want to risk losing the match when the chances of him losing are so high..No one prepares for a fight with 8 days of preparation. It's just career suicide. It would have completely fukked up any momentum he had.

If hes scared of losing to a fighter who only got 8 days to train and already coming off a loss, he don't belong in the UFC...
If he loses
then he loses...None of these athletes are paying my bills.. I could care less how much money they make or their wins and lossrs..I just want to be entertained...
I hear about a UFC PPV every other week, who cares?
