There's more than to the story than soonnen.. Mma junkie also reported the Chris Weidman also offered to take the fight. So jones had options

Yes it's 8 days but jones is being an ingrate.
His first fight in the UFC he got taken a fight on short notice.
He got his title match with shogun on short notice due to injury, 3 weeks, and won.
so the least he could do is take a fight if he's that good... :stopitslime:

Why would he fight a middleweight though? If this were Chuck or Griffin Dana wouldnt be bytching to the media like he is.

Speaking of which, Dana talking shyt about his fighters is NOT a good look. They need to pull dude out of the spotlight for a little while.

Its fight .. Aden matches get s scrapped you have to take the best options allot of champs have done so
Anderson fought Maia in two weeks notice and cote in 3
And he won
Yeah it wasn't 8 days but his skill earned him Ws
If jones is that good.. Why did he turn down two middleweights ... Especially after he makes weight he fights at heavyweight come bell time?

So no other fighters are in their weight class after the bell rings? I see a small hidden agenda. There was nothing in that fight for him. What the fukk as the champ do i look like fighting somebody that doesnt deserve to step into the cage with me.

I get it, you think Bones is a hoe and a snitch c00n right? Thats fine, but bottom line is the dude is the champ and he had a choice, key word there, to take those fights, and he didnt. Dude made a power move.

And to halfass insinuate that Bones isnt a good fighter is :troll: at its best.

Also, just because Weidman offered to fight doesnt mean that Dana was trying to make that happen, he wanted his pal Chael in there, im sure they couldve scrapped a card together somehow...

Jutt be easy breh breh. These guys just have a difference of opinion and a string up they ass. Every time you pull it they gonna get hot and bothered and give you more lip.


They wanna see a fight that is destined to be a mismatch you know that makes sense...


And they want to reward a cheater and a loser.


Bones must really be hated.

Every fight with Bones is designed to be a mismatch. Chael is a cheater, a loser and whatever else but he's a real fighter. Back when Phil Davis pulled out of a fight against Rashad Evans, the UFC was having trouble finding a replacement. Chael called the UFC and offered to take the fight for no reason other than to do the company a favor.

I don't see what the gains are in Jones turning this fight down either. I know they say he'll be fighting on 9/22 but I doubt that too. It'll be tough to get into Canada with his recent arrest.

The biggest WTF about this is everyone Cuban B'ing the fact that the UFC's trying to sell us on Chael being a viable title contender at 205. fukk outta here.

How would he be ridiculed? For taking a fight on 8 days notice? If anything it would've helped his popularity.
Come on breh you know he's hated as it is taking a fight on short notice won't change his standing with certain people.
