UFC 151 was set to have current light heavyweight champion Jon Jones take on challenger Dan Henderson with the the championship belt on the line. Just 8 days before the fight Dan Henderson had to pull out of the fight and there was only 1 fighter who was willing to fight Jones on 8 days notice. That fighter was none other than Chael Sonnen, so Dana White and the UFC started promoting a new main event between Jones and Sonnen when what he never thought would happen, happened. Jon Jones declined to fight Chael Sonnen and according to Dana White it was because Jones' trainer Greg Jackson told him it would be the "biggest mistake of his career".

The entire UFC 151 fight card has now been cancelled because Jon Jones is not fighting and defending his title. This marks the first time in 11 years since Dana White has been president of the UFC that they have has to cancel a fight card. The outspoken bossman adresses a media call in the video below answering questions and voicing his frustrations and extreme displeasure (to put it nicely) with Jon Jones. Jon Jones is now set to fight Lyoto Machida on Sept. 22 with the 205lb championship belt on the line.
