With a late knee injury impeding Dan Henderson's ability to fight light heavyweight champion Jon 'Bones' Jones in Las Vegas this passed Saturday, White cancelled the first UFC event in its history, deciding rather to spread out the fights to other future cards instead of going forward with the show. Now if I were in Vegas I would have been quite peeved, but since I'm here by Toronto things have worked out just swimmingly. UFC 152 is aptly renamed UFC 151 and we now are treated to the second coming of Jones, who fought victoriously against Lyoto Machida at the Rogers Centre in December of last year. When the Jones/Henderson fight was scrapped the now heavier Chael Sonnen stepped up to the plate but it came as a shocker when Jones refused to fight him. Much to the dismay of the President, White went on to blast the star for his unwillingness to fight on short notice. "We've never, ever had a fighter refuse to fight somebody, especially a fighter who is a world champion as well as one of the top pound-for-pound guys in the world," White said. "It's baffling to me, and I've never seen it before." said Dana. It looked as though a Jones/Machida Part II would be the in the making for Toronto, but now things have changed once again. The card UFC 151 is officially scrapped, Toronto gets its card number back and fights held September 22nd will be under card UFC 152.

The countdown continues... Three and a half weeks to go!
