Chael comes to the rescue but Jones turned it down. "First champion to turn down a match" - Dana White...say's it all really. He also said he was never big on the UFC sponsoring Jones and his relationship with him has changed "a lot".

Shame we can't see Hendo smash this punk. Or Chael grind his face for 5 rounds.

[ruthless rocco]

jones is scared to face a smaller guy moving up in weight who will have 8 days to train?!!!

wow.

Pros React to Henderson Injury, Jon Jones Turning Down Chael Sonnen, Cancellation of UFC 151 - MMA Fighting

Fighters opinions on UFC 151. A lot of guy's unhappy about not being paid.

[VictorCharlie]

What a bitch move. Chael is probably a better wrestler and has better cardio but lets be serious, Dan's whole game these days is to land the H-bomb. Factor in Chael moving up for the fight and Jones looks pretty lousy.

[Spicoli]

Is this a step to the 'Boxification' of Mma. Sounds like another who thinks he's bigger than his sport.

[Mattyhitman]

This is a crock of shit really, Jones would bitch slap Sonnen into a quicker defeat than what Sliva did. Why he wouldnt fight a smaller guy I will never know

Total bummer for all the other fighters losing out on their paydays, Jones should compensate them all in some way !!

He is to afraid of losing. He isn't a fighter that's for sure.

Sonnen hurt Jonny's feelings with all the trash talking, so now--with that Nike contract in his pocket--abused little Jonny is taking his ball and going home!
If Greg Jackson really has that much influence with Jon Jones,
the relationship is unwholesome and should be abandoned! Jackson knows how to train champions but he has no idea, at all, about the way champions should act!
I hope Nike is watching the great Jon Jones in action! Jon Jones is being lead around, by the nose, by an idiot!
This whole affair would be comical, if so much money wasn't being lost, and so many lives weren't being negatively impacted.
Why do I say comical? Does Jones really believe Sonnen might win? Jones is bigger! Jones is younger! Jones is faster! Jones has longer reach, in every way! Jones has had a full training camp, Sonnen has not! The only real chance Sonnen has of winning is to take Jones down and that ain't happening!
It's really confusing to me but the family man, standup guy, church going Christian and company man Jon Jones projects is starting to look false. Jones is really a selfish, petty, vindictive, mean spirited man without a strong image of who he is or can be! Mr Jones, get away from Greg Jackson, he's a great trainer but a terrible advisor!

Classic, that's a beauty that mate ! It's a shame really cos both of those 'opponents', Sonnen and Hendo, are your bum boys, it would of been great to see Jones smash both of them, which would happen if they ever did meet

Let's keep it real, there is no way Jon Jones is afraid Chael Sonnen! Does he need a lesson (maybe a full course), about being and acting like a champion? Yes! I just hope he's strong enough to pull his head out of his own ass and start acting like a champion.

Shame we wont see either of those fights happen for a while. Your boy Bones is to busy bitching out of fights and drink driving.

People need to stop acting like Jones is a bad fighter now cause they are pissed.

he overpowered Rampage Jackson at Light Heavyweight but Sonnen would toss him around? The same Sonnen that got handled by Michael Bisping? Don't be dumb.

A Machida rematch is a lot harder than a Sonnen fight for Jones to be honest.

Hate when a fighter does something other people don't like they start acting like the fighter sucks all of a sudden.

Dan Henderson went life or death with Shogun Rua the same Shogun Rua that Jon Jones completely decimated on about a month's notice. So yeah, get real people.

I understand you're pissed, but saying "This guy aint a fighter" or going all "Jon Jones sucks now" just shows your ignorance of the game and shows you're speaking out of hate and not knowledge.

If you actually thought about it, saying Jon Jones "ain't a fighter" or that he "sucks now" is probably the stupidest thing that can come out of a fans mouth.

Let's keep it real, there is no way Jon Jones is afraid Chael Sonnen! Does he need a lesson (maybe a full course), about being and acting like a champion? Yes! I just hope he's strong enough to pull his head out of his own ass and start acting like a champion.

Fighting and destroying Shogun Rua on less than a month's notice isn't "champion" enough? So he fights Shogun on less than a months notice for the title and destroys him but people try to act like he's scared of Sonnen, you didn't say that though. He tossed around Rampage Jackson like a ragdoll but Sonnen is gonna over power him? right Like I said, you didn't say that.

But people that do are hilarious.

A real fighter takes fights when there given to him. Guy's like Chris Leben, Leanard Garcia, Chael Sonnen. Guy's who'll take any fight given to them. Those guy's are real fighters. Jones just wants his pay check.

If Chael would be such an easy fight why didn't he take it...why did Greg Jackson say it would be the biggest mistake of his career...

[VictorCharlie]

I don't think Chael makes it three rounds against Jones but in all fairness he has MUCH better wrestling and takedowns than Rampage and I'd pick him to UD Quinton.
