Excuse my ignorance, I'm Jewish.
Is there something in the new testament about accepting fights on short notice? Quite frankly, I thought that sort of thing was old testament territory. |

It is funny that Jones and Bendo are 2 of the Fighters that bang on about Christianity and throw it down peoples throats are also the 2 that support this selfish decision.

Jones is a cock.

Jones had nothing to gain from this fight other then money, and everything to lose.
Chael, on the other hand, had absolutely nothing to lose. Don't be a cock. |

**** Jones. How can a champion, supposedly the best fighter in the division, reject a fight with an out of shape fighter from a lower weight class? Ridiculous. I don't care if Sonnen deserved it or not, an entire card was just scrapped because of one man. How this guy has fans is beyond me.

I think 99% of other fighters would have taken the fight out of respect for everyone else, and not be a cock about it. And yea, G hit in on the head. Jones has nothing to gain except money from now on...so why fight anyone.

As a self-proclaimed "businessman", money & brand should always be his top priority. He failed in both respects. |

Your a cock, as is Jones - being that selfish makes you a cock. What ever happened to looking out for your fellow man? Respecting your fans? He would of got a big chunk of cash and supposedly an easy fight, people were picking him by destruction against a 100% Sonnen and he had him on a silver platter out of shape and at the wrong weight. |

Nothing to lose?
I don't understand why people are saying this, Chael's best attribute is his wrestling, and Jones is a phenomenal wrestler, Chael would have been a lamb to the slaughter on eight days notice with basically no training camp at all. He would have taken a hellacious beating at the hands of Jones. Nothing to lose? He'd have got his ass kicked most likely. |
