Even though it was exactly this kind of situation that got Jones a title shot to begin with. Rashad blew out his knee when he was supposed to fight Shogun in February 2011, Jones got the call immediately following his fight with Bader because of that. Now he's too good to pay it back? That's fucking stupid.
UFC 151 Cancelled - Oh lawd

Oh I am not saying he isn't a punk ass, I think he should take a fight, any fight... just that he doesn't owe anything to the other fighters on the card.Even though it was exactly this kind of situation that got Jones a title shot to begin with.

Not on a personal level, no. But his refusal to be a professional, a champion, and a man here cost 20 other dudes paychecks. It is his refusal to amicable in any way about this that led to these guys now having to to fly back home and tell their families they won't be bringing home a paycheck this time around.
Jones has got to be the dumbest fucking "businessman" on the planet. In one fell swoop he manages to fuck over the company he works for, his boss, his co-workers, and his customers all in the same action. That has to be some kind of record.2013: +8.24u(increased unit size on 5/19)

I would love to see Machida do it. He and Gustaffson are really the only ones I can see having a chance at this point. Maybe Cormier will drop.2012: +19.33

See, that is really the only part I disagree with... the UFC can put the event on if they want. They have done worse cards. It isn't Jones' fault the UFC canceled it.Not on a personal level, no. But his refusal to be a professional, a champion, and a man here cost 20 other dudes paychecks.
