Do you dislike those comments because you disagree with them?
I dislike the character Jones creates (no idea if that's the real him or not). However, things like this happens everywhere in sports. Athletes will hold out of attending training because they want a better deal after contributing more than they earn. Athletes will leave their team to make more money elsewhere. I'm not saying I like it, but I certainly understand it. |

Bendos comparison makes no ******* sense. He is comparing apples to satellites.

Why? for speaking the truth
As much as I don't like the fact that JBJ didn't accept a fight against Sonnen, who isn't in 100% fighting shape and fights a weight class lower, the UFC screwed themselves over by having such a shit card. What if JBJ got hurt? would the card still get scrapped? UFC did this to themselves. It shouldn't take one fighter to scrap a card.
I truly think this was more about Jackson then JBJ, Jackson is in his head big time and I think if it wasn't for Jackson, he would have taken the fight. He didn't say no right away, he said it after speaking with Jackson. |

No because Henderson would not have been a bitch and he would have accepted the fight with Chael or anyone else in MMA.
It took an injured fighter and a bitch fighter to scrap the event.

Well it shouldn't take one fight to scrap a card regardless, if you can't admit that the card is weak as hell, and that the UFC was banking everything into JBJ, then you're just a hater. I don't like JBJ for declining a fight against someone who I think he would maul, but all the blame for these fighters not getting paid shouldn't be all on JBJ's shoulders, all I'm trying to say. |

The UFC has to pay these guys, and none of them are getting cut so....
also 35 LHW's in the division and no tweets about them stepping up to fight for the title.
Silence is golden.

Reading this thread, I feel like the UFC is getting more and more crooked and will go the way of Pride and Dream.

The card wasnt that great. But thats what happens when you have a young sport and not that many stars. Not every card is going to have a amazing supporting cast. If you go back and look at fight history there has never been a time where every fight card is spectacular all the way through. Even the golden days of boxing before it went shit had bad main cards and great main events. Its just the way it has to be ESPECIALLY if we want as many fights as we are getting. And i know i sure do.
The UFC was betting on Henderson vs Jon Jones in a TITLE FIGHT to carry the event. Then something unfortunate happened and Henderson got injured. I was pissed at Hendo for allowing something like that to happen so close to fight time BUT what can you do, injuries happen. If Jon Jones pulled out due to an injury i wouldnt have a beef with him whatsoever. Then the UFC had to scramble to create a fight that would still be interesting to the fans that paid to go watch UFC 151 and Chael was one of the few fighters that is interesting and willing to take Jones on a 8 days notice. THEN Jones for whatever ******* reason plays the victim and decides he wont fight Chael because its too short of a notice. Even though he is in tip top shape and has been training to fight at September 1st for the last 3 months. And Chael has had no training camp and in no way ready for a 5 round war. Still Chael was basically accepting a beating in order to save the day for everyone.
Jon Jones is the definition of a spoiled bitch. He screwed the fans, the UFC, The fighters who paid 20k for the training camp to fight and i hope to god he screwed himself by losing his now fight with Machida. I would love nothing more then for Machida to beat him silly. And i am anything but a fan of Machidas.
OH AND!! he will fight Machida on a 3 weeks notice but not Chael on a 8 days notice. What a crock.

Hendo apparently had this injury for a while, three weeks to be exact.
He tried to tape it, and wanted to fight through it but they didn't clear him. I believe Chael knew and he had ulterior motive with the trash talking.
