I want to know why he’s not fighting Sonnen. Jones wouldn’t fight him on short notice and shut down the whole event. There’s been more than enough time now to face him.

The point is Jones had a whole UFC card canceled by not fighting. People had hotels, airline tickets and other things already booked for the event. He’s the first guy to ever do this.

Moreover, he got his chance at the title to become champ when Evans had an injury and he replaced him. Albeit, it wasn’t short notice…

Jon Jones ducking Sonnen is a black eye to the UFC and Jones’ reputation. Jones would never be in the position he’s in now if he didn’t take fights on short notice so to then turn down a fight on short notice is unbelievable. I’m cheering for Belfort.

Not a huge UFC fan, but Jones had a good point not fighting Sonnen. If Sonnen ever gets the chance and it’s on regular notice Jones will easily handle him. That’s the benefit of being a champion, he gets to say no. You may not like it, but if Sonnen knew he was gonna get the fight and had extra time to prepare it wasn’t fair.

You may want to think that it’s all about who’s the baddest man in the ring, but not knowing your opponent as well as he knows you is a very bad thing.

mn2long:

I have seen Jones fight, which makes it even more puzzling that he chickened out when the offer to fight Sonnen was made.

He should have been able to handle Sonnen easily and yet he ran like a little girl.

Two week notice notwithstanding, are you the baddest man on the planet or not. In this case, NOT.

I was going to say “nothing is worse than Cris Collinsworth”, then I realized that I would rather listen to nothing than listen to Cristine Collinsworth.

I wonder if this has ever happened before that twice in one year a team plays another team with a guy’s brother on it? First the McCourtys now the Joneses.

I have a hard time watching any ufc matches where Joe Rogan is commentating. I would rather listen to fingernails going down a chalkboard. He is worse than Chris Colinsworth.

Jon is a punk, talking about how the UFC has treated him like a piece of meat, what a croc…and no I would not say that to his face, thats what the internet is for.

All these boys have so much rage inside them. That is a good thing for their chosen professions.

I wonder if Chandler and Arthur Jones are as afraid of Chael Sonnen as their brother is?

Not a Pats fan, but Chandler Jones is easily the early favorite for defensive rookie of the year.

That move he put on the TEN O-lineman to get the strip of Locker Week 1 to me has been the most impressive play of the year through 2 weeks.
