Sherdog updated their article with a quote from JZ’s father confirming this rumor. What a fucking joke.

There’s a difference between a match being scratched and it being a complete fabrication. If you’re to believe what Greg Savage said on the radio show, the whole thing (Aoki vs. Jz on NYE) was a complete lie from the start. They’re taking Pride’s old habits to a completely new level. Sad that the president of the M1 was either in on the lie and continuing to lie or that he’s just a pawn and nobody told him. Shady shit either way you look at it.
