that is a tad over-dramatic... saying that one single fight (this specific one) hurts the sport.  I think the events that came to cancel the last UFC was more hurtfull to the sport than this fight.

The word "champion" means a little less now than it did before chael Sonnen started putting it in his mouth and getting what hoe wants without earning it. I agree that it would have been better if jones had accepted the fight with Sonnen at 151. Last minute replacements are last minute replacements. Making this fight now is inexcusable

you're so full of ****, loosen up buddy and enjoy the thrill ride. It's one that every MMA fan will be talking about.


This fight might hurt the sport according to you, but the buildup to the fight will be one that would be more beneficial than anything else the UFC could try (with the exception of superfights).

probably everybody knows that Sonnen is going to lose, but who cares it's still going to be a fun fight. I don't think this was another one of Dana crazy moves, I believe he is punishing the fighters who didn't wanted to take the fight (including Jones) and teaching everybody a lesson; if you stand up for the UFC the UFC will do the same for you, or some **** like that, I don't buy for one bit that he gave the fight to Sonnen for his trash talk and big mouth.

so just relax and enjoy the ride, that fight has KOTN written all over it

So that's what you got from the 5 million of my posts? That I think Chael will pose a threat to Jones? Dude, we're totally out of sync in this whole discussion.

Sorry people Chael does not stand a chance in my opinion his ground and pound isn't strong to begin with l can't see him taking Jones down even if he did somehow take Jones down l see him getting submitted. Jones can win this fight anyway he wants TKO, submission or decision it wont even be an entertaining fight. l pick Jones 1st Round Submission l also will not watch this fight it it doesn't have a strong under card it better not be like GSP and Condits card.

If Sonnen would have at least won a fight at light heavyweight then sure give him a shot but coming off a loss and getting a shot is just plain stupid. Same goes with Edgar getting a shot at Aldo. People say Belfort didn't deserve his shot, he was a late replacement and at least he had a 2 fight win streak going for him.

Rumor is FX will have @charliesheen make an appearance on TUF 17 as a guest of Chael Sonnen. Sheen has show on FX- Anger Management

I didn't try to get the saying right, I twisted it around to get my point through (I do that sometimes, just make life a little more interesting for me) ... don't be so tedious, if you got the point that's enough.

I dont think a lot of people think CHael has a chance, but at least the buildup will be interesting as ****.

I'm just glad that two people who deserve to be coaches will be next season.  This season with fat boy Roy Nelson is a damn joke.

205 is a very concentrated division. You have maybe 6 fighters who can reasonably be put in a title scenario and most of them (except Gustafsson) you can argue against it. For that reason, I don't mind seeing Sonnen. If you're not going to have a road to the title, might as well sell tickets.
