Jon Jones was supposed to defend the UFC light heavyweight title tonight against Dan Henderson, but Henderson suffered an injury and Jones did not accept a fight against Chael Sonnen. With Jones turning down the fight against Sonnen, the UFC decided to cancel the entire fight card.
Jones has become one of the most disliked fighters by the UFC fans and has received hundreds of messages from the fans. He responded to one of the messages today as a fan said he had no plans tonight because of UFC 151 being canceled.
