UFC President Dana White isn't done venting about the unfortunate cancellation of UFC 151, as he ripped Dan Henderson for not giving enough advance notice about the knee injury that forced him out of his scheduled bout with Jon Jones.
"Dan Henderson knew two weeks before the fight. Two weeks before he told me he was injured," White said during an interview on UFC Tonight recently. "If he had given me those two weeks - like he should have - this fight might have happened."
Henderson was supposed to fight Jones, but had to withdraw due to a knee injury. Jones then refused Chael Sonnen as a replacement opponent, which led to the entire UFC 151 card getting cancelled.
The cancellation marked the first time in the Zuffa-era of the UFC that an entire event had to be scrapped, and White was not at all happy about it.
In the immediate aftermath of UFC 151's cancellation, White blamed Jones and his trainer, Greg Jackson. At one point, he said Jones' decision was disgusting and selfish.
Now that two weeks have passed, White seems to have turned the focus of passing the blame onto Henderson, who he thinks should have let the promotion know sooner that he wouldn't be able to fight at UFC 151
