Greg Jackson just pulled Jon Jones out of coaching TUF in April. #UFC

"He's a long way away. He's not coming off the (Anderson) Silva fight and just talking his way into a 205-pound world title shot. [Sonnen] is going to have to beat a couple of the best in the world. If he beats Forrest Griffin, we'll shoot him right into the top five and let him fight some of those guys there, and we'll see what happens."

I posted a thing about Super Hulk tournaments yesterday. Looks like Jones is fighting another dude who hasnt dipped into Light Heavyweight contention in years! I love Chael, don't get me wrong but the dude is 0-1 at Light Heavyweight and is coming off of a loss even if it was against the best there is.
Jones also stated he didnt wanna fight DC because he wasnt a big enough name yet. When he gets a couple of UFC fights in or actually fights and beats Mir, Jones will continue to dance around it again and make another excuse.
The fact that Silva is running from Weidman now is laughable as well. Silva has nothing left to prove in my opinion but dodging and choosing your opponents is pretty damn weak.

As far as the fight goes....this is a serious mismatch. Chael is going to look like a little kid out there trying to wrassle his dad. Jones by TKO or submission, round 1.

On the flipside he will get paid a lot too.

Chael doesn't deserve this title shot but at the same time do you really want to see Jones wreck Machida again....No thanks. The other option is Hendo and at 42 years old I love him but he has a punchers chance of beating Jones and it would most likely be another dominating display for JBJ.
We've questioned Jones' mental toughness and Chael is the king of breaking someone down mentally and he's going to have an entire season of TUF to throw Jones off his game. I don't think Chael wins this but it will be fun to watch and a whole hell of a lot more interesting then Jones vs any other lhw.
