Jon "Bones" Jones joins UFC 152 after UFC 151 cancelled

Fans with UFC 152 tickets got an unexpected present today.
Los Vegas’ loss is Toronto’s gain as current light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones has been added to the UFC 152 card, facing off against Victor Belfort on September 22, 2012 at the Air Canada Centre. The addition of Jones is a big boost for a card that already featured the flyweight title bout between Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez, as well as a middleweight fight between Michael Bisping and Brian Stann.

While the Toronto event enjoys a big boost in star power on its card, the changes come at the expense of the cancellation of the entire UFC 151 event set to take place in Los Vegas on September 1st. Jones’ original bout in UFC 151 was called off when opponent Dan Henderson suffered a knee injury during training, and Jones turned down a replacement bout against Chael Sonnen. With no other fighters able to fill the main event card, UFC president Dana White pulled the plug on the entire event. It was the first time a UFC event has been entirely cancelled, and White made no effort to hide his disappointment and anger towards the Jones camp for declining the Sonnen fight.
