He would make more money wrestling for WWE than he would fighting in the UFC.

@grizzly that would make me a hypocrite. I used to be a fan of Nick Diaz, but now I think his antics are sonnen-esq, and im none too impressed.

Sonnen was defending intelligently. Bad stoppage and a shame for Sonnen.
That being said, well done to the champ.

I'm done trying to participate in this conversation. None of you kids has anything to say to me, but that doesn't stop you from being but-hurt about your false idol. If you can justify your high opinion of Chael Sonnen I'm listening, but you can't so you click the down arrow button. I'm not impressed. Have a goodnight.

Also most of the people who're posting in this thread picked Jones to win the fight.
The majority of us was certain Jones was going to win, but many of us think the stoppage was a little early and considering the referee has held off stopping fights in worse cases than this one, then it makes this look like an early stoppage.
Also most of us like Chael because he's a good wrestler who's always entertaining to watch and knows how to build up fights which is something many fighters lack the ability of doing.
I hope that that clears up everything.

Zero chance that was a fix.
"That was the biggest ******** stoppage in MMA history. Jon Jones has nothing to be proud of with that victory!!!! How the **** can anybody think for a minute that that fight should've been stopped like that? ******* ********!!!! That fight was a ******* fix!!!!!"

Than stop typing.
"None of you kids has anything to say to me"
I'm not a kid and I have tons of things to say to you.
"but that doesn't stop you from being but-hurt"
You mean "butt"... and you're the only one sounding "butt" hurt.
"about your false idol."
He's not false. He's a real person.
"If you can justify your high opinion of Chael Sonnen I'm listening"
I enjoy his hilarious trash talking plus he's also is a great coach. He's actually quite refreshing to the same old "I really respect this fighter". It's nice to hear someone be sarcastic for a change.
"but you can't so you click the down arrow button."
You should talk to Bill about that problem. Next time, post this in his useless **** thread.
