      Not true, total myth.

      Have you seen the paid attendance and gates over the last few months?

      UFC is hardly a hot ticket.

      Dana stands on the corner with the ring card whores and hands out hundreds, if not thousands, of freebies to nearly every show.

      I have zero sympathy for people who buy tickets early and bitch about the card.

        But you can't not pay them and then blame Jones for it. Jones didn't cancel the show or box the company into this corner.
        I agree with that, but jones deserves blame. Dana should get the brunt of it though. He needs to wake up. He has to realize more divisions doesn't mean you can make shit cards. TUF is not as big those guys aren't main card guys.

                Because Dana has spun the web perfectly, he literally has little blame in many eyes.

                      Supposedly, Jones has three hours to take the Machida fight. Or else.

                        My offical stance- Jones deserves blame he should have taken the fight, Dana deserves the brunt of it (less is more). I have always wanted the UFC to simmer down on shows. It sucks for people who bought tickets. I have no blame to Greg Jackson on this. paying the guys- eh whatever, The UFC has issues that need to be dealt with, MMA today is eh to me, I like Pride much better. Saying that I still don't miss UFC or Bellator and watch Axs tv from time to time. This has just been a really shitty month for mma other than the stacked fox card announcement and i'm sick of it.

                            Hadn't even thought about till reading Lauzon's blog...all the people who bought non refundable airline tickets and hotels and took vacation, this is beyond shitty.

                            The fighters underneath must get show money for this. Do right by the guys who've been busting their ass and sacrificing.

                              Listening to Dana, he will definitely cut him. If you guys heard that man... he is one pissed off dude more than UFC 149

                                They didn't have to cancel the ppv, that's on them, with there roster they could have come up with something, all the guys jumping up to fight Jones could fight, the UFC rolls out bad cards all the time, what's one more?
