5 years ago today: UFC 151 was cancelled

If Chael could have lasted 27 more seconds they would have stopped the fight in between rounds on account of Jon's broken toe and Chael would have a TKO win over Jon Jones and would have been the 205lb champ lol

He was the least culpable out of all parties involved. UFC put together a weak card that couldn't sustain losing a headliner, something that happened the next year on a card that didn't have anything to do with him. Henderson waited too long to disclose his injury. Sonnen colluded with him on that in hopes that being a late replacement would give him an advantage. Jones' only "sin" was not making up for the BS everyone else tried to pull.

 

[Ogata]

The annoying thing was the fact that, Jon Jones reason for not fighting chael was that chael is a southpaw.


Weak excuse but he still got a pass for being a great fighter but with all that has happened you have to let him go.

Too much of a liability for the UFC and a bad investment for future marketing.

 

[Rav1nHunter]

You can't pin that one on Jones it was all Hendo and the UFC.
Jones is a fuck up but he is not responsible for the 151 mess

Cheers to 5 more years of hell with Jon.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I remember all the fighters complaining about not getting paid and Jonny said he would've paid them back if they didn't talk bad about him on Twitter. <45>

As much as I am not a Conor nuthugger, his balls are bigger than Jones. Dude never needed a fucking rainbow

Conor naturally has supreme confidence. Jones does not despite having better skills.

I remember saying at the time that i thought it was wrong for jon not to take the fight. My reasoning was because a champion should, in theory be able to take on and beat all comers. Jon was healthy and ready to go. Some say that jon didn't have time to prepare for chael. Well neither did chael.

I understand the other side of the argument, though. Jon had more to lose. Still a bit lame to me.

5 years already. Jesus

 

[Chramelated]

Jones is a cheating sod, but 151 was not his fault.

 

[Sudoistehgoat]

I have honestly lost count now of just how many cards Jon has ruined with his endless BS. Holy fuk

I just want DC to be able to go to Jon's house and kick him in the dick with no consequences.

Back when Jones was fighting more than once a year. Those were the days.

There was also the two hour period when Machida was getting the next title shot then pulled out and Vitor getting the shot.

You dont see it because he snorts it everywhere he goes.

 

[rockylion]

So what your saying is we give him 1 more chance ?

 

[HIMBOB]

The blame goes to the TRT fiends not the roid fiend.

 

[RiseAboveHat]

Chael would've destroyed Jon Jones on that night.

Late notice Chael is P4P GOAT

Jon ducked him
Fedor ducked him
