Not sure what it could be, so I didn't put this in the Hendo thread.
I totally agree. And then to completely and unprofessionaly throw the champ under the bus and blame this whole unfortunate set of circumstances on him. That is pathetic.
Dana is actually saying it's 100% Jone's and Jackson's fault that 151 got cancelled. That's complete bullshit and if he really believes that, he is delusional.
I am dissapointed Jones didn't take the fight. But there is a big difference between dissapointed and the complete outrage and hatred that is coming his way.
Dana White is the most unprofessional "Commissioner" of a professional sporting league I have ever seen. It's not even close, it's by a landslide. And I promise, his antics will have a lot to do with why the UFC struggles to grow much further than it is.
I have no problem paying for fights and the fighters getting my money for what they do. But I am starting to be bothered by the fact that Dana gets some of my Money as well. Because he is not the product, the fighters are. He is sitting pretty with Millions while guys the fighters literally put their life on the line and can't feed their families if one fight gets cancelled.
Jones has a bigger advantage over Sonnen. Sonnens has had no training while Jones has been thru a full training camp. This would of been a bit easier then Hendo.
Machida it actually makes sense, he took the fight on short notice before. Jones is ready, Machida I don't know however why gamble it when you will get the winner of whoever Jones will fight next? As for people asking why shogun turned it down I'm pretty sure he's still medically suspended.
