UFC 151 Canceled After Dan Henderson Injury
An injury to Dan Henderson has forced an unprecedented cancellation of a major UFC event.
UFC president Dana White announced on Thursday that because Henderson, who was set to challenge Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight championship at UFC 151 on Sept. 1 in Las Vegas, suffered a partially torn MCL, the event would be canceled.
Jones will instead fight former champion Lyoto Machida on Sept. 22 in Toronto.
During the teleconference, White said that Chael Sonnen was offered the bout with Jones and accepted, but Jones refused to take the bout, forcing the cancellation.
