Yes that. Sorry I was mistaken. Been so long since I've seen him fight I have forgotten some things ... Lol

I would feel bad for Wandy if he didn't love every minute of it.

Why would he turn that down? I was kidding. I'm just tired of Charles mug lol. Business wise it makes sense he is one of the only faces currently that could keep the card promoted... and he is one of the only people in shape now to do it in such short notice.

Bisping is talking **** about jones on twitter. He fought Chael on only 8 days notice.

I can picture it now. The next time Jones walks out is going to be the loudest "booo" we have ever heard from a UFC audience.

Not much needs to be said that hasn't already been said on the internet in the last 20 minutes. Fan stock in Jones just took a huge hit.

Yep, Bones screwed over a bunch of people. Undercard fighters, fans, families, etc.

Even something as small as Joe Rogan's comedy show he does while on the road with UFC.

Mandalay just cancelled Rogan's show.

This is beyond retarded. If anything they should have pushed the LHW title fight but still kept the event. Perhaps make it a free(on TV) instead of a PPV.

I agree with this. I also think there are other 205ers who deserve a shot long before Chael does.

Yeah but in this case it was eight days notice. I still can't believe two middleweights offered to fight Jones with eight days notice.

Point is if Jones didnt fight they wouldnt have made money. Call Jones selfsh, but preparing for Hendo is a bit different than preparing for Chael. They didnt have to cancel the whole event.... But Jones is the selfish one, really?

Even if they pushed Jones off completely, and put two other guys as the headliner on the card, it would be a mad scramble to find that fight. Especially in eight days! All of that doesn't matter though because if it wasn't a title fight, ticket refunds would have been dealt, and the PPV would have been a disaster.

Bones could have fought an out of shape Chael and made a lot of money.

IMO a champion should fight whoever is put in front of them. An elite fighter passing up a chance to fight and make the best of a bad situation for the company and fans sake loses a lot of respect from me.

After his performance against Evans, his demeanor as of late, and this decision... Not a fan.

Chael is now my favorite fighter, and close to being my favorite athlete. True heart of a champ, true fighter, and true UFC company man. I respect JBJ's skills, but have now lost what little respect I still had for him in any other regard.

I blame Greg Jackson just as much as I blame Jones. I completely agree with Dana, Greg Jackson is a "******* sport killer".

A bit ridiculous that JJ wouldn't fight, but Dana certainly enjoys the bully pulpit in his press conferences. Not exactly appropriate for the President of an organization to go on a tear like that, but that's what makes Dana entertaining.
