The light heavyweight champion Jon Jones appears to have left behind the only canceled event in the history of Ultimate. In an interview with the website mma mania, Jones said he had no desire to repeat the fight against Dan Henderson, whom he would face at the unrealized UFC 151, in September of last year.

“I don’t have the will to fight Dan Henderson. He's a guy who, you know, has done a lot for the sport, he's a lot older. I think he's a guy a lot of people would expect me to beat anyway. So I don't have big dreams of a fight against Dan Henderson”, revealed the champion.
