UFC 151 Cancelled

The biggest factor was Jones' brother.

Fighters fight to make money. Now that his brother is a millionaire also, there's less of a responsibility for him to provide for friends and family.

Success has also hurt the UFC. PPV killed boxing as we knew it. Originally, it was a boon but eventually high end boxers made so much that they didn't have to fight constantly to provide. Mayweather can be financially comfortable for the rest of his life whether he steps into the ring with Pacquiao or not.

Now that MMA fighters a making more and more, we'll start to see the same sort of thing there.

huh? which jones brother? they havent been broke for quite a long time.

bones is rich off of nike and could support his entourage if he so deserved without breaking a sweat.

Ahhhh....love the ignore feature. This way you can put people with inflated self importance of their own opinions out to pasture.


Jones will likely KO Belfort in the first round. I'm semi-interested in that fight but not nearly as interested as I would have been for a fight with Hendo or Sonnen.

gotta love the irony... discussing self-importance then telling us how you feel about specific fights thus assuming we care all in one post.
