Why can't ppl admit that Jones don't want it with sonnen? It don't take rocket science to figure that out .........trolljones: turns down sonnen but says he'd whip dat ass, agrees to fight belfort. :snoop:

Anybody else feel like if Sonnen gets by Forrest he's going to get a #1 contender fight, possibly against Machida?

Dana is going to want to cash in on Chael, and with the whole "he stepped up" argument it will make it easier for him to legitimize Sonnen's rise in the LHW rankings. Add that to the fact that Machida is now back in Dana's dog house and needs to fight again before getting a title shot and I think you've got some good logic for that fight.

If that shyt happens im gonna really start to think this shyt is turning into WWE. Chael in no way shape or form deserves a shot this year. I'd rather see Gustafsson get a title shot, but 205 is so :flabbynsick: that i can see it happenining

Sonnen should go against rampage since rampage said he would beat the brakes of off him I believe in an interview... Well I know he doesn't like him for sure. Trash talking would do UFC numbers too

hell yeah whatever title contention they could get chael into they would just off his promotion skills.. can't see him gettin a win off any of the top lhw's though.. pretty sure that 8 days was the closest he's gettin to the lhw belt

Dana pretty much said in the interview i posted earlier that the Jones/Sonnen fight will happen- so the Griffiths/Sonnen match for a title shot makes sense....lets hope that Griffiths pulls off the win, then we will see how Baldilocks gets his golden boy to fight Jones

that match would be boring as hell, rampage TDD has one to shyt and wrestlers molest him with relative ease.His fight with bader was inexcusable

cant tell if u are serious but jones strikes me as a neck roller.I can see how hed be adamant about not granting sonnen a title for doing nothing (just on principle)

True but rampage also said he tired of being humped he rather stand and throw blows... So if sonnen wanted to do that it would be a decent match... Plus the trash talking would go

True...but this would just put it over the top

Cant disagree with you on this one. Dude gonna get a title shot based off shyt talking.

Dana pretty much said in the interview i posted earlier that the Jones/Sonnen fight will happen- so the Griffiths/Sonnen match for a title shot makes sense....lets hope that Griffiths pulls off the win, then we will see how Baldilocks gets his golden boy to fight Jones

They need to throw him in there with a legit 205er instead of padding him up

ay chael does get alot further then similarly talented fighters.. but yall gotta stop acting like his last two losses wasnt to the goat and like he is some type of can.. this isnt tank abbot.. kinda like a kenny florian type of move, if the current champ wasnt there then they are the clear cut successor so they try and find em a way to grab a title

Rampage still has some of the best tdd in MMA. He had two bad knees in the Bader fight and could barely put any weight on them. He had to have surgery on BOTH knees after the fight. He'd kill Chael. That's like saying a guy with two broken hands during a fight striking has gone to shyt because he wasn't throwing.
