I'm as fed up as anyone else at Jones' lack of champions heart and attitude in not taking the fight against Sonnen or Weidman. Bad form, Jones, bad form. This one's for you:
I couldn't be more disappointed in a fighter. And, due to the lack of star power on the remainder of the card, the UFC made the right call to cancel the event. I think they could've thrown together a decent headliner and made it a free card, but then again, when the half of your main event that is healthy refuses to fight, your hands are kind of tied.
I do think that the UFC would come out on top if they at least reimburse the fighters that were scheduled, less Jon Jones, and maybe even throw them a few extra bucks for the trouble.
All I know is that everyone will be tuning in when Jones fights Machida in anticipation of watching Jones losing the strap. Good for PPV numbers, and hopefully just as good for Machida. UFC should give Jones' purse for that fight to charity...
