Conor McGregor vs. Rafael dos Anjos, Nate Diaz vs. Dustin Poirer, Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson, and more make the list.

Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson

In a rare occasion, the falling apart of the [autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Dan Henderson[/autotag] fight resulted in the cancellation of an entire event. Jones was scheduled to make his fourth title defense vs. Henderson at UFC 151 on Sept. 1, 2012, but Henderson was forced out due to injuries.

Chael Sonnen offered to step in on short notice, but Jones was advised by his coach, Greg Jackson, not to take the fight. With just days remaining in his training camp, there wouldn’t be enough time for him to prepare. The entire event was subsequently canceled.
