Im as big a Chael fan you will find on this board, but no way does he deserve a shot at Jones, and he has about a 5% chance of beating Jones. Also, does this mean Sonnen/Griffin is on hold?

I hear it's bonner vs griffin

 

[Alpha Dog]

Jones v Sonnen is bullshyt, they should've at least given Hendo the TUF job. Guess this is what happens when your ratings are in the tank

[Skip b]

Dana is a spiteful man, Hendo had just as much blame as Jones for the cancelled ppv

 

[The Infamous]

Another fighter responding to Chael/Bones. Machida's tweet: 'With all respect,but for me Chael does not deserve The title shot,I would like To know What He had done in LHW for deserve!!'

and Forrest said

"I'm not mad at him," Griffin said, referencing Sonnen. "Why fight your way to the top when you can talk your way to the top?" "I'm actually happy I'm not fighting him anymore, because watching his fights was boring and tedious."

sonnen will be better for ratings, believe that. He's a grade A, WWE-like shyt talker

UFC is starting to resemble pride

[Jutt]

UfCs credibility is going up shyt creek fast.

This will ultimately help Bellator imo

Sonnen doesn't deserve this fight but...Randy didn't deserve Sylvia so :kanyeshrug: ....... @ Hendo being mad at his boy getting a title shot


And Rampage said he's "motivated" b/c Glover disrespected him...basically b/c Glover said something along the lines of how he only wanted to fight Rampage if he was in shape.


When he's healthy, Rampage still has good tdd and the striking seems pretty equal...Glover will have to worry about takedowns more than Rampage, IMO. These dudes should fight.

Randy has had 4 titles shots coming off a loss

While it was still shady they are totally different circumstances.Sylvia was a dead duck type of champion and the HW division was shallow (AA v big tim trilogy anyone?) the couture fight had cache.Like its already been previous mentioned this sonnen fight could've been avoided ufc are just entering a dangerous phase where the sporting aspect is being phased for entertainment..
