**** this thread. WAR MACHIDA! 

Not only cause I'm a fan but because Jones is a coward and doesn't deserve the belt.

I have a hard time calling someone that has stepped into a cage to fight 17 times and destroyed the man across from him 17 times a coward

@soccer ya but then when it comes time to fight someone on short notice and he doesn't because he's scared of losing his belt, that's the act of a coward

See my last post @Soccer... I don't think anyone disagrees w/ you.. I just think given the circumstances... it was just bad timing and w/ the members here already in an uproar over what just happened... the reactions are expected.. right?

Sonnen already has great sub defense. If you try to argue that I'm wrong and ignore the fact that he spends most of the time on the ground, get out.

Jones is P4P tops, but Jones - reach = above average fighter, not P4P fighter (so far, although he has more potential than anyone else, perhaps ever.)

Chael Sonnen is a better fighter overall if they were the same size.

Well Soccer, he doesn't give a **** if you flew out to watch him as a fan. I bet you thousands of Jones fans were pumped to see him this weekend yet he couldn't even be ****** to take a fight against someone who is moving up a weight class and will only have 8 days. Pathetic.

Really like both these guys. Machida is my favorite fighter, but I don't see him beating Jones. I don't see how Sonnen even deserved a title shot. I respect the hell out of the guy for taking a fight with JON JONES on 8 days notice, but if I'm Jones, I don't see how Sonnen would deserve that fight at all. Just my opinion.

No I actually expected people to be adults about it and if it was a thread they don't like to stay out of it, but I forgot I was on Tapology and thats too tall of an order...there are already enough **** JON JONES and GREG JACKSON threads to suffice

I think you're over-reacting when you say "but i forgot i was on Tapology and thats too tall of an order"... Tapology is pretty damn tame when it comes to forums. I understand your point though.
