Wow a Jones/Chael thread that actually made me lol. Not because of the tweet but ofcourse because of everyones awsome speculations. Ok here goes mine:

Jones used to star in gay porn movies to support his family, but his jesus-freak family found out and destroyed all the copies......all but one and now Chael has it.

LOL hardly but it would be fun.

"I've never lost a fight at middle weight"

"I'm an American gangster"

"I never said those things [ about Lance Armstrong ]"

"I am the middle weight Champion"

"I saw Nog feeding a carrot to a bus."

"Anderson Silva can speak English as well as you or I"

"DID YOU LEAVE SOMETHING IN IOWA JJ?"


... and the beat goes on.


Why does anybody take this shit seriously? The chances are it is nothing but Sonnen pissing on the hornets nest some more. He's more then willing to say anything at all to get a reaction and he does.

We take this shit seriously now because Chael is making fun of Jon Jones, and I don't know if you realized it, but it's cool to make fun of Jon Jones right now. So lighten the **** up and join in on the fun and stop taking things so goddamn serious.

I have a special kind of hate for people who drink and drive.

I have a friend who I recently found out that she would drink then drive home. Pretending she was 'ok' to drive.

I called her a selfish ******* **** who is too ******* cheap to take a cab.

Ive taken to personal insults when people I know try to rationalize drinking and driving because anger usual gets the best of me.

Not sure why people defend it neither. Is it guilt because you've done it/do it?

Its not because texting and driving is bad, that drinking and driving should get a pass.

This topic has reached 20 pages on UG with zero answers and is shut; and the mods are either "playing along" or legitimately banning users that have been there for years for even joking around (not even giving real info).

If its a troll job - bravo to EVERY single person that participated because it was masterful.

That said - TMZ was looped in and has promised to "break the story by Monday out of Iowa". /staying tuned
What?

user: "No TMZ won't. It would be a huge liability for even them. There are certain things that are not allowed to be public information and this definitely falls in that category."

me: "Then why is Sonnen posting any info about it if its so serious that it could get him in trouble?????"

user: "He will never go into detail. He did it just to get people like you wondering and he won't say anything else. Trust me dude; I won't even put it in writing."
This makes no sense to me.

No one knows anything. There is nothing you could report that would be a liability to the company reporting it. Your friend is full of shit if he exsists at all. Post a screen shot of that convo and ill believe that it happened. But nothing he said.

I don't care if you believe it took place or if you think someone "exsists".

If something comes out later that seems to be in line with all of the back and forth about it: I will still actively avoid reading or posting about it.

Once again, not my business and most certainly not why I watch,read about, or post about MMA.
 
#103 ·
I simply do not want to speculate on this any further. I thought it was inappropriate for Sonnen to post anything about another fighter's personal life in the first place and I was being a hypocrite.

I removed them because it is none of my business and I shouldn't have speculated in the first place.

There is plenty to rip on Jones for, in regards to what he has done professionally, without trying to figure out what mistakes he made early in life. (Assuming there is anything; which has not been confirmed)

they were getting on pretty well last i saw

wouldnt surprise me if they're both in on it


cant do it the other way around coz everyone knows chael has been a dodgy ****er in the past
 
#117 ·
Is it not obvious? This was all an angle. Sonnen got his way. A spot on TUF. Another main event title shot. One last HUGE payday. Chael knows he's on the downswing of his career, and I can honestly see him retiring if/when he loses to Jones. Why not go out a little richer? Sonnen has played the organization, the fans, and he'll ride off into the sunset, perhaps without a belt but definitely with a heavier wallet.

It really isn't. Chael doesn't deserve this shot, but the man can ******* fight. He's given Anderson Silva the only real worry he's ever had in the Octagon, and he has the potential to showcase some flaws in Jones' game too. The UFC headlined a PPV with Couture vs Coleman, in 2010; let Mirko Cro Cop main event a card in 2010 in an awful, awful fight with Frank Mir; UFC 122 was headlined by Marquardt and Okami; Rampage and Hamill headlined a card, as did Evans vs Ortiz. The UFC have put on way worse headliners than this. They've put on better fights, but, even so, you're still going to tune in. Chael gets attention, people that support him watch him in hope that he wins, and haters watch him in the hope that he gets beaten up. It doesn't matter to Chael, it's all money in his back pocket.



Pretty much. Chael's taken marketing in MMA to another level. He deserved both his shots at Anderson, but there's no way anyone can truly justify Chael deserving this shot. I can't help but love the dude though, I think he's brilliant, and am delighted he's getting a title shot. It would be incredible if he pulled off the unthinkable and took out Jones, but if it doesn't happen, Chael still earns himself a ton of money and sells huge PPV numbers again. He's basically stepped straight into Brock Lesnar's shoes, and taken up the mantle of PPV king. I'm sure Dana was more than happy to set this up. It has the potential to save TUF, and will definitely sell a shit ton of PPVs.

This is still the stupidest main event the UFC has ever put on in the history of the UFC. I might end up watching the season because I do like TUF, but I won't be ordering this ppv unless the rest of the card is good. If they try to sell this like it is a legit main event and leave the rest of the card weak there is no chance in hell I give them my 60 bones.
