Jones: I didn’t know UFC 151 would be cancelled

“I don’t really know if it would have made much of a difference if they had told me, but they didn’t tell me they were going to cancel the fight. They asked me to put my whole livelihood on the line. I train five times a day and being the champion, it means more to me than it means to any fan, it means more to me than what it means to Dana White. If I would have somehow lost that fight, Dana wouldn’t have lost any sleep over it. Life would have gone on and I would have been the one stuck out there.
So, I don’t know if it would have made much of a difference. Ultimately, why wasn’t that a good enough card? What was wrong with that card? Why did it have to be cancelled? I watch bar fights. I love fight at all levels. I think it was more of an insult to the fighters on the card, pretty much saying they weren’t good enough to host the card without me and Henderson. At the end of the day, I would have done what was best for my career and I can’t really carry the weight of what happened because it really wasn’t my thing. I showed up to fight.”
