Belcher injured, says Belfort taking title fight is a 'blessing
in disguise" (  No_Mercy 08-24-2012 08:44 PM  Vitor vs JBJ.
Belcher vs Weidman. Sounds pretty damn good to me!  Now that the
whole UFC 151 debacle is 24-hours removed and Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones has his
next title defense lined up against Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 on
Sept. 22, 2012, everything seems to be in order.  At least for
the time being.  "The Phenom" receiving the surprise title shot
at "Bones" was just part of the domino effect from yesterday's
(Aug. 24, 2012) shocker that an injury to Dan Henderson forced
the Olympian to pull out of his scheduled title fight against
Jones on Sept. 1 in Las Vegas and Jones' subsequent refusal to
take on late replacement Chael Sonnen.  That decision ultimately
lead to the first outright cancellation of a UFC pay-per-view
(PPV) event.
