Efter att det blivit officiellt att UFC 151: Jones vs Henderson har blivit inställt gick Dan Henderson ut på Facebook för att göra ett officiellt uttalande.
”Sadly and unfortunately, I partially tore a ligament in my knee in training. As a result I’ve had to make one of the toughest decisions that I have ever had to make… for the first time in my career I am forced to pull out of a fight, my fight with Jon Jones at UFC 151. Luckily, surgery is not needed at this time and I will be completely devoted to rehabing my knee as quickly as possible. I feel that I owe it to my fans and all the people supporting me to fight at my full potential in order to give myself a chance to win the UFC title. I appreciate the loyal support that I have felt from my fans. I want to thank all of my coaches and team of guys for the great support with my training camp. Most importantly, I appreciate their honesty when I needed them the most to make this very difficult decision. I also want to thank Dana and Lorenzo for being so understanding and supportive. I will continue to pursue the UFC belt with all of my heart!”
Hur länge Henderson nu kommer vara borta är oklart i dagsläget, och UFCs VD Dana White meddelade även att han inte vet om han kommer att kunna behålla sin titelchans när han kommer tillbaka.
