    That card cannot be salvaged if they loose the title fight. The main card isn't strong at all and the title fight was the best fight on the card.

    If Dana is making an announcement then it's definitely bad news. Would Machida really take this fight on such short notice??
    I know he's desperate to get the belt but would he be really ready to fight jones again at this stage?
    I actually think that if anybody will step in to replace Hendo, it'll be Gustaffsson.

    Jones didn't want to fight Chael. He was pretty much preparing for a similar in Henderson. Jones is an idiot.

    The whole event scrapped?? Wow. There was no real way around it though.
    Pity Jones didn't take Chael up on his offer. I'd love to see that! :D

    Dana: I don't think this is going to do wonders for his popularity. For me and Lorenzo, we are disgusted.

    Wonder how many will say Jones is still the best. Used to like the guy but he got too big headed and got killed saying i don't like him.

    Dana is seriously píssed off with Jones.

    Dana: good for you Jon Jones that you have money but there's a bunch of guys that needed to fight to feed their families

    Dana: I can't make you fight. You're either a fighter or you're not.

    Dana: If I get a call today saying Jones doesn't want to fight Machida, we're having another conference call today. And it won't be good

    In fairness, Greg Jackson is a c*nt! Saying "this will be the biggest mistake in your career" - what a f*cking dick.

    As above, this is a super sh*t thing for all the Prelim fighters.

    Jones has made a lot of enemies now in the UFC. From the top brass right down to the fighters on 151 who got screwed over.
    Some of the tweets from fighters:

    Shane Roller ‏@shaneroller
    Just heard the news. I got flights, hotels, tons of stuff I have 2 take care of. Just finished my last hard practice. Hope it's not true

    Charlie Brenneman ‏@SpaniardMMA
    Me n @rick_story took a fight on 24 hrs norice!! Champ what?!?! @ufc

    Charlie Brenneman ‏@SpaniardMMA
    RT @arielhelwani: Fans who bought tickets for the old 151 will be refunded..how bout my wife, parents, corners, friends,etc????

    Retweeted by Helwani on Twitter. It was a conference call to media only.
    Helwani has it recorded though and says he'll put it up shortly.

    Wow, having just seen the videos you were talking about thanks to Mellor linking, you have really proved my point as to how those who see him as arrogant over-state his arrogance.

    I have no idea what you thought was wrong in either of those instances, but if they are you examples of someone being a dick then I truely dispair!

    Dragging up an old post but listing to the show he was on for more then the videos and after i sensed he was false. Now his true colours are shown. Fell bad for the other fighters and hotel and people who flew in just to see the fight.
    Sonnen is gone up in my book taking a short fight and after trying to come up a weight class.
