He's lying, but he should have, and would have if UFC fighters didn't get raped on their deals. That show did a 6 or 7 mil gate and did a mil on PPV.

No he does get a ton of cash.. he's a business man and a promoter. white people consider him the Best promoter of big UFC fights.. and one of the best sh1t talkers in all of sports...

So he makes that bread... he makes that bread even if he gets his ass beat... he makes that bread even if he's not even part of a fighting ticket.

I don't think he is being a coward, he doesn't want to fight Silva out of respect and I don't think he should have to, instead of making excuses, he should say it and keep moving. Why cant they both be dominant in their divisions?

Yes, That is how I see it, but that's just my opinion, he is making excuses instead of just out right saying he doesn't want to fight him

Dont be naive hes making excuses alright but not for the reasons u stated..Here is a guy that famously used the line (when asked if hed accept a fight) "I have to speak to my sponsors first". The guy hasnt finished any top flight WWs not named hughes yet is the biggest ticket in the company. Hes basically winging himself into ufc history of course hes nt likely to want to jeopardize such a sweet set up

So Jon Jones isn't a beast who can beat everyones ass in his weight class including anyone who would lose or gain wain to come to the class - minus Silva?

GSp vs Silva will never happen why do people bother wasting minutes of the day on this?

This


I don't think Bones vs Silva will happen either...for some reason I can see Bones vs GSP...not sure how though

 

[FaTaL]

Anybody else annoyed that jones is wasting a title defense against a guy who has no business fighting him in the first place?

 

[Roman Brady]

huh? Jones only started writing his legacy in 2011 and he already has the most sub finishes of any LHW. Out of the who's who of victims he's slayed the only one he went to a decision with is rashad. GSP can't even finish any WW not called matt hughes. So I don't know what u are trying to say

He's a 1 trick pony, using his combination of size and speed to always remain in control. If he goes up to 185, he won't have the size advantage that he's had in majority of his fights.

Really think about it, could you see him out wrestling or even controlling on the ground guys like Chael, or Munoz or even Weidman at 185. And sure he can stand and jab with Diaz, Koscheck n Sheilds, but I doubt he'll want anything to do wit Silva, Wiedman, or even Stann's stand up game.
