The guy always steps up when the UFC needs someone, like him or not the fact that he was the only person to step up on 8 days notcie to fight Jon Jones is beyond respectable!

You sir, @arcon are now staring down the barrel of a 24hr suspension for the "**** off Chael" comment.  Two were just suspended for the exact comment.

EDIT:  Post gone.. but I'll wait for the others to follow up on the punishment... remember to try not to fighter bash guys... chose your words carefully.

EDIT:  Nvm... I have to be consistent w/ the other mods... suspension on.

What cracks me up was Jones was talking **** to Sonnen on Twitter. Greg Jackson must be a really persusive guy. Myabe even omnipotent. Greg Jackson, sport killer.

Ya know I've never been a fan of Chael, he kinda got annoying and I think he went too far when hyping the fights with Silva.  But I admire the hell out of him for always stepping up and being down to fight anyone at any time.  That's a ******* fighter and I can't help but like the guy

Does anyone remember that "You'll never be the man that I'll be." tweet that Jon Jones sent to Chael Sonnen about a week ago?


I wonder how those words taste. (:

I don't like Sonnen much but lots of respect for the guy, and the interview was damn funnny. Jones didn't even wanted to do the interview with ESPN, dude if ESPN calls you, you answer! 
keep making fans Jackson boy!
