And now Machida backed out as well due to being so soon and his reason IMO is a bit more reasonable; needs time to train. But then again, seems like these UFC stars are not hungry like the good old days of Ken, Couture, BJ, Gracies, etc...Originally posted by hitmansb View PostJones was a pussy.
UFC needs to change the contract they make fighters sign to make it mandatory to fight a replacement opponent if need be.

This is how i feel, you don't game plan and then just say oh fuck it I'll risk everything I have worked for. He's the best and as much as I get why people got as angry as they did bottom line its his sides call shit should hold SOME merit. Dana can say whatever he wants but it's not his fucking career, it's everything else to him obviously.Originally posted by Mr incredible View PostIf I was jones and had my whole camp organise around fighting a particular style opponent then that changed I'd say no way, if he losses his O goes and he only needs to lose another two and he's potentially out

why do you have nothing to lose as a true champion ? The fact of it is champions are the only ones who can lose more than the match. Oops strip belt, lost.Originally posted by Ronin View PostIf you're a warrior and true champion, you have nothing to lose. Not to mention, to be the best, you take on whatever is put in front of you to prove you're the best.
That mentality of nothing to lose certainly did not make him the best or as disciplined a fighter as he is. That's some bullshit aztec shit because you need it to rain next year nothin to lose shit.
Whatever is put in front of you take on to prove your the best ???? Wtf bro, legit people dedicate their lives to working up ranks - then some random say is called in the ring, jones should fight at all costs to prove hes the best against the worlds ranked 115 fighter all while risking injury?!
I just don't understand it, I feel you with the mentality of always fight never quit but brains make careers.

FUUUUUUCK Dana White...I always though Dana was a cocky SOB . hes being a baby didnt get his way. Big deal cancelled the fight. The backup plan is lame. I would have dropped Jones got other Heavyweights...
I wouldnt take the fight on 8 days notice either the fighting strategy is different. I would want more time anaylize Sonnen and get my head in it. His coach told him not too. Hes going to look after his best interests...stupid fight anyway feel like i just saw that fight with Silva

Jones didnt take the fight on 8 days he was already done with his training camp for hendo. Sonnen was taking fight on 8 day notice when hendo got hurt. hendo and sonnen both wrestlers and hendo has more power in his hands but same type of fighter.Originally posted by jack tors View PostFUUUUUUCK Dana White...I always though Dana was a cocky SOB . hes being a baby didnt get his way.

jones is def not being a pussy he is being told what to do and playing it safe. he looses he could loose a shit load of cash we dont know what he has in works sponcer wise. Nike just gave him a boat load maybe he has others and a loss could make it not so important anymore.
2 sides me personaly I took my first fight 6 days change of fighter. was suposed to fight a striker and swapped to wrestler. very huge difference and i still took fight and lost 29-28 so it does matter not so much for me as it is just fun for me I am to old to be serious and go for UFC or something. But not that way for Jones
then the other side is you are suposed to be best in world pound for pound ect getting a fight with a guy in no camp and lighter than you while you just had full camp. alot of low level fighters lost big time chances for being in UFC maybe TV paydays ect. as champ you are suposed to fight who ever they put in front of you.

i agree with you except i think hendo and chael fight much differently. you see hendo vs shogun not many wrestling moves. whereas chael is all wrestling and ground and pound top pressure and hip control. its amazing how good he is at it.Originally posted by ROCKETW19 View PostJones didnt take the fight on 8 days he was already done with his training camp for hendo.
