Would this e your interest....http://mmaweekly.com/is-jon-jones-vs...ded-to-ufc-145
more like make me cream my pants. The only guy with a chance imo. Amazing wrestler, legendary chin, and a chance to land that H-bomb....unfortunately I think he's a few years too late/too old
Per Ariel Helwani on twitter
Also reported, @danawhite said that Dan Henderson turned down a fight against Lil' Nog, so they then decided to book Nog-Gustafsson ...
... the original plan was if Evans beat Davis, he would face Jones. The winner of Hendo/Nog would then fight for the #1 contender. ...
... Now, since Hendo turned down the Nog fight, his status is unclear. #ufctonight
Little Nog is a step down for Hendo that was a dumb fight for the UFC to offer him..
UFC announces Jon Jones will defend le at UFC 145. No opponent (wait a couple hours). But that should help ticket sales.
per twitter
This card needs work. Shad/Jones is a potential 1 mil buy event if the right fights are built around it.. It needs a great co-main event..
maybe they can get Dan Henderson on this card vs someone
He seems to be in another pissing contest with Dana at the moment..
Presser today at 1 p.m. EST:
UFC® 145: JONES vs. EVANS
PRESS CONFERENCE

UFC President Dana White
UFC Champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones
le Challenger ‘Suga’ Rashad Evans
Thursday, February 16 - 1 p.m. ET

This still needs a good co main event..
Ugh, I don't like that at all. This reeks of "NBA Cares". Kissing a white kid on the way out? /sigh. I really hate Jones.
If I was a below average fan of MMA and I saw this I would still have zero interest. Ineffective commercial
still trying to figure that out. There's no way he doesn't know that kid. If so then that's in creepy
Hendo is basically the reason this card stinks outside of the main event.. Turned down fights that would have ed it up..
Yeah, it sounds like Hendo is waiting for a shot at Jones. I assume after Jones beats Evans he'll flight Hendo later this year - maybe around September?
