People are complaining that Jones is in the right but now because he doesn't want to endanger his title run more than 20 fighters aren't getting paid. Joe Rogan and Useless Gomez got it right, your the champion who was training for a fight in 8 days. A guy who is a 185 pounder and out of shape says he wants to fight you and you back down cause your afraid to lose? You should steam roll this guy. Who cares if he didn't earn the shot don't make it for the title, just give the fans a show. Any fighter in the UFC would have jumped in to fight Henderson if it was Jones hurt.

I lost a lot of respect with Jones over this.
