This week on UFC Central presented by 888poker.net, for the first time in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship an event was cancelled, as UFC 151: Jones vs. Henderson is called off.
We take you step-by-step through the entire situation with an in-depth look at what caused the cancellation and what it now means for everyone involved.
Find out Chael Sonnen’s reaction to be turned down by Jon Jones, what the fighters who were supposed to fight on the card think, and why Vitor Belfort believes he’s the right man to take on the champion at UFC 152 in Toronto.
Lost in the mix was Dana White’s statement earlier in the week that a super fight between Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre could be on the horizon. We look at whether or not this is a possibility, and hear first hand from St-Pierre’s coach Firas Zahabi who explains what the welterweight champ thinks about taking on “The Spider.”
Just over a year ago the MMA world was shocked at the sudden death of Canadian Shawn Tompkins. Looking to keep his legacy alive his family, friends, and the MMA community held the Shawn Tompkins Memorial Golf Tournament this weekend. We take you onto the golf course as UFC fighters Sam Stout, Mark Hominick, Chris Clements and our very own “Showdown” Joe enjoy a day swinging the clubs, while remembering “The Coach.”
