**Update**
Dan Henderson was forced to step out of the UFC 152 title fight against Jon Jones because he suffered a partial MCL tear, which needed time for recovery. Due to the injury, Chael Sonnen was called in to replace Henderson with an 8-day notice. Sonnen was ready to step in, but Jones declined the bout. Jones says his team felt he would need more time to adjust his game plan. UFC President Dana White canceled the entire event, the first event ever to be canceled in the history of its company. UFC 152 would simply be wiped off the face of the planet as if it never existed and we move on to UFC 153. The UFC 153 will is set to headline a UFC light heavyweight championship fight between current champ Jon Jones and Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort. Click here for more on the UFC 153 event in Toronto
