Despite claims from Jon Jones camp that Dan Henderson informed Chael Sonnen about his knee injury weeks before pulling out of UFC 151, thus giving Sonnen time to prepare for a potential bout with Jones, Henderson denied to claims this week while speaking with MMAFighting.com:

"Chael didn’t know anything about it," he said. "He had definitely not been training at all. My guys told me that Greg Jackson said in an interview that Chael was down training with me and getting ready for the fight and knew I was hurt. It was nothing like that at all.. He wasn’t even down here. I asked him if he wanted to come down and help me train a couple months ago, but he didn’t come down."

Henderson also touched on Jones not accepting a fight with Sonnen which lead to the cancellation of UFC 151:

"Ultimately it was his decision not to take a fight with Chael," he said. "I don't think it’s unfair that he’s been blasted like that. All I know is, that’s not the decision I would’ve made. Obviously he has his own reasons. I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't take a fight like that. Other than being injured, if I’m healthy, in shape and ready to fight that day, it doesn't matter who they want me to fight. I'll fight, especially if I’m champ."
