If they all stick on for this card, it'll be the best card of the year and it'll be free? wat?
Gustafsson one timeeeeeee (pretty sure if he wins this fight, he'll get a title shot)
Fox 5 will be awesome. I must say that I did not see Sonnen vs Griffin coming. I didn't believe the Rashad rumours but Griffin seems really out of no where to me.
Bobby Green: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus)
def. Matt Ricehouse: $5,000
Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special discretionary bonuses.
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
Listening to the press conference now. Dan Henderson is hurt and can't fight Jon Jones. They offered the fight to Chael Sonnen and he accepted, but Jones turned it down haha. So UFC 151 is cancelled.
Dude you some social darwinist ideas that they are giving hitlers ghost a boner - Baal

UFC 151 canceled
- Dan Henderson suffered a partial MCL tear. White isn't sure of a time table for the fighter's return. (Some community member at MMAJunkie said Henderson hurt his knee this past Sunday while stuffing a take down, which is 4 days or so ago.)
- Dan Henderson was going to fight with the injury, but the UFC doctors said no.
- Jon Jones doesn't want to fight Chael Sonnen on 8 days notice.
- Jon Jones vs. Lyoto Machida will headline UFC 152 in Canada.
- Dana White: "Jon Jones is the first champion to duck a fighter."
- 'UFC on FOX 5: Ben Henderson vs. Nate Diaz' to take place December 8th at Seattle's KeyArena.
- Johny Hendricks vs. Martin Kampmann official for UFC 154 in Montreal.
- Former champ Miguel Torres released by UFC, signs with Titan Fighting Championship for November 2nd home debut.
- Dana White: Champs Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre both want super fight. This could be a possibility if GSP beats Carlos Condit to unify the Welterweight belts.
- Chris Weidman turned down a fight vs. Vitor Belfort in hopes to fight Anderson Silva next.
I'm curious to see how mma training will change over the years, I'm sure some of those involved are trying to figure out 'safer' methods. is there any public talk about how methods could or are being improved?
So Jones apparently refused to fight Sonnen or Weidman at 151, but now took the Machida rematch that he so vocally opposed at 152, all the 151 fighters now get fucked, not to mention thousands of fans, stay classy Jones.
Poker chobo.

Damn I was looking forward to see this Anyway why would Jones duck a guy that was just smashed by a smaller champ? Seriously I dont get it, he was training this whole time so its not like hes not ready, and the guy he was training for is better than Sonnen anyway I dont even...
