Jones didn't stop Sonnnen, and this is coming from a guy who thought that Sonnen had no chance of beating Jon Jones.

Really Jay? He elbowed him three times in the face. Chael was going to get destroyed even more if Peterson didn't step in.

What? It's ok for Sonnen to talk his way into a title fight in a weight division he hadn't even competed in for years? And im supposed to be a fan of someone who retires as soon as he's not in title contention anymore. You Sonnen kids are a trip.

Instead of protesting the stoppage, you should've just done something and not lie there covering up.

@Jay are you serious? I'm a huge Sonnen fan and I do not like Jones but that was a fine stoppage. 5 more seconds and Sonnen's face would've been destroyed.

I wanted to see when Jones injuries his foot. Just to see when it happened. If it was early in teh fight that would have been tough going, or maybe happened post fight. Just wanted to know.

I don't want Chael to retire. He should go back to middleweight though I think.

I also heard on the radio that Anderson just signed for ten more fights... thats ****** crazy

Jay, I am profoundly surprised by your reaction to that stoppage. How was it supposed to get any better for Chael?

I will agree that it was an early stoppage, but I won't say it was a fixed fight.

Jones clearly outclassed Chael and even out wrestled him which is something I haven't seen anyone do.

Imagine if the fight would have gone on 30 more seconds and the ref would have stopped the fight due to injury.........

"What? It's ok for Sonnen to talk his way into a title fight in a weight division he hadn't even competed in for years?"

Yes... because he made UFC and himself a bunch of money and on top of that, you actually watched the fight. Mission accomplished for Chael.

"And im supposed to be a fan of someone who retires as soon as he's not in title contention anymore."

No. You can be a fan/not a fan for whoever you want.

"You Sonnen kids are a trip."

Why? It's obvious why people are fans of Chael Sonnen. If you can't understand why, I don't think it's them who are tripping.

@ stange - Chirs Weidman vs. Mark Munoz, Pedro Rizzo vs. Josh Barnett I, Randy Couture vs. Chuck Liddell I, Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Oritz II, and Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock I. That's why.
