There’s no reason to rehash the sordid story that left us with the first event to ever be canceled in UFC history. All we need to know is that when the full history of the UFC is written, there will be an asterisk next to UFC 151, noting that the event never took place.
All the fights on that ill-fated fight card have found a new home, which is a positive. The negative is that the main event between UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former Pride and Strikeforce champion Dan Henderson is not going to take place, due to a knee injury Henderson suffered while training. Instead, Jones will defend his title against Vitor Belfort in the main event of UFC 152.
The full lineup for the September 22 fight card, which will take place at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, looks like this:
Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort
Joseph Benavidez vs. Demetrious Johnson
Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann
Matt Hamill vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
Charles Oliveira vs. Cub Swanson
Vinny Magalhaes vs. Igor Pokraja
Evan Dunham vs. T.J. Grant
Lance Benoist vs. Sean Pierson
Marcus Brimage vs. Jim Hettes
Seth Baczynski vs. Simeon Thoresen
Mitch Gagnon vs. Walel Watson
Charlie Brenneman vs. Kyle Noke
What follows are questions we have heading into UFC 152.
