Sonnen is on SportsCenter right now live dogging Jones. He has to change his mind cause he is gonna look like the biggest bitch in history.

I can't wait to get home!

Considering all of Jones quotes this week, it is like two shit storms converged to create one giant shit storm of epically shitty proportions of shit.

LOL I would wear it.

Yeah, Bones is living up to what everybody thought about him. I'll atleast give him credit for the fact that he's no longer attempting to pretend he's not a major douche bag. He's letting it hang now.

Wow, this thing....

Sonnen's shtick, in this situation it is perfect and I do like it for this reason: what he is saying here is totally his character but it is his character more or less saying what is the logical truth about the situation.

It's not like the Anderson Silva talk at all because a lot of that was just fraudulent for show.

His words here ring as true as it gets.

Total shitstorm on Jones.

I guess Dana White said on Fuel that Jones is done when he loses the belt..i doubt that, but you're joining a pretty slim list when it comes to guys who ruined events. I think it's a 2 man list now.

You talking about Reem? Barnett?

I guess Barnett. At least he wanted to fight though.

Barnett

Reem vs. JDS was still a couple months away and they got Mir to replace him, UFC 146 happened and got a solid buyrate.

Barnett led to Affliction:Trilogy being canceled and Jones not taking a fight with a middleweight who probably isnt even in fighting shape led to UFC 151 being canceled. I know he'll blame Hendo once he starts responding to this shitstorm in the form of public statements.

Yeah, I see that similarity.

But that glaring difference is glaring. They wouldn't let Barnett fight, Jones won't fight. Both bad.

Wasn't it a failed drug test that didn't allow Barnett to fight? For roids? I'll take the pussy over the cheater.

Ellenberger

Quote :

"In my opinion, I don't think you should be able to choose who you fight when you're the champ," he said. "Like most cases, you shouldn't have a choice. But if you're the champ, you're the best in the world, you have the belt for a reason, and I don't think you should choose who you fight."

Jeff Hougland

Quote :

"I know I'm no Anderson Silva or big name in the company, but I do give my blood and sweat just like every other guy," he said. "I would have liked a phone call the day before. It just makes you feel like, man, you're just not appreciated. I'm still going to throw down. I'm still going to take years of my life and try to give the best entertainment that I can. I just thought they would call me."

On Jones: "Our lives are basically in his hands," Hougland said.

"They're not going to want to follow me around," he said. "I'm not going to get any sponsor money. I don't think we get 'show' money because we didn't show."

"The cards are lined up," Hougland said. "Are they going to screw those guys over and move them? Probably not. They're just going to push us farther back or fit us in if somebody gets hurt. I don't want a short-notice fight. I wanted to fight Mizugaki."

Dennis Hallman

Quote :

"He is a selfish jerk," the veteran said of Jones. "Fighters, we have a feast-and-famine kind of thing. When you're expected to get paid [$40,000] and you don't ... it's kind of a slap in the face. Financially, it's really devastating. For me, I've already been postponed from Aug. 11 to September, so I had to bump my bills forward and my creditors. It's kind of devastating."
"I'm kind of disappointed that the UFC decided to market guys that aren't real fighters or are just selfish," Hallman said. "[Jones] made a stupid decision. We're fighters, and we fight."

Hahaha I love this

Unreal, all he does is step in shit storms, the guy can fight his ass of I'll give him that, but worrying about his title more then everything else, I feel bad for all the fighters that needed this check, the guys that trained their asses off, unreal the world Jones lives in. His idol just smoked Sonnen in July, easy fight, way bigger then Sonnen, Jones is not bigger then the game and they should look at cutting him, where else can he go, only minor leauges.

I think chael would have smashed Jon. Jon is not a fighter. The dude is an amazing athlete, but he lacks the heart of a warrior. Gut check for the UFC. Dana needs to set light a fire under some asses. Fuck this pick and choose shit. I am personally calling for jons head on a stake. Make an example of him. There is no other organization to compete with the UFC. Let him go to bellator. There is tons of talent at LHW. Tired of this prima Dona shit. Time for a change.

Dude shut up... Chael would have gotten murdered against jones... Just stop

Ok killer. I forgot that Jon jones is invincible and Jew isn't allowed to have an opinion at NP. I am upset as a fan. And to be honest I'm upset with Dan, and the UFC too. Do you not realize how damaging this is to a sport I think all of us love?

I don't think you fire him. Jones low blowed himself hard to day and Dana rubbed it in as well as he could of. Its a tucked situation and the majority of blame falls on bones. he is gonna carry that forward with shame because he is not like pbf who oddly enough seems mature compared to Jones and thrives off of the negativity. Jones is gonna be burning in it for a while.

Case can be made for anyone to win in mma, but anybody under 205 except maybe anderson silva is a really big dog to Jones no matter what.

Now who's the prima donna? Come on, man. I would be genuinely surprised and would have been willing to sigbet that Chael couldn't take Jones down one single time if they fought. Without the takedown Chael has nothing to offer Jones just like everyone else in the last year and a half. Let's not overreact to this and start making ridiculous caims like that we invented the question mark, or that chestnuts are lazy, or that Jones isn't one of the best fighters on the planet just because he happens to be a complete baby bitch douche canoe.
