Oops, too slow.

Best way to describe it is like a Rousimar Palhares fight. Rush, clinch, trip, grab limb, pull!

Except Kaufman fought the armbar for ages before Rousey finally pulled it straight.

Dana was cageside at the event and tweeted his approval throughout. Apparently the Tate Kedzie fight on the prelims was a war and had Dana gripped. He went looking for Tate backstage afterwards to congratulate her and get a picture.

All this new found love for women's MMA from Dana is what tells me he's going to introduce a women's division within a year. Rousey has too much hype and mainstream attention for him to waste.

UFC 151 cancelled as no main event!!!!

DrPhil

Wow.

There will be repercussions from this. Jones was offered Sonnen at short notice but refused hence the cancellation.

Jones vs Machida is now on for UFC 152.

Jones is permanently in Dana's bad books.

booyaka

i can see why in some sense but is Jones not fighting 3 weeks later at UFC 152 (now to be called 151) so surely if he is on schedule for weight loss/training camp etc - he can't just be expected to give that all up and go for a fight 3 weeks earlier than scheduled.

DrPhil

Personally I think he's unwilling to take the risk against a jumped up MW who he has already said doesn't deserve the shot.

Jones is becoming a real diva.

LCR_Dave

he wouldnt be fighting 3 weeks ealier he was offered a fight with cheal instead of henderson and he said no i think he would be grinded on for 5 rounds if he did. i think that would be the only time i would enjoy it lol

Dana White: "Jon Jones is the first champion to duck a fighter."
