Re: MMA Discussion Thread
It will be a fantastic season but Chael is going to get beaten down, sadly. I don't know what he does after he loses to Jones, that's 3 title shots down and he won't get any more.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
He will always be interesting and relevant. He will be fine after Jones beats him, if he carries on fighting or not.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
He starts from scratch in the light heavyweight division if he loses I reckon. The guy is still a top 5 PPV draw and can make a ton of money, he'd be silly to retire (not sure if that's what you were getting at Walls, but just saying!) even if Jones completely destroys him.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
TUF will be good, but what has Chael done to earn a title shot exactly?
Hasn't won a LHW fight in years, and lost his last fight (even though it was against Anderson)
I hope Jones smashes him

Nothing, its just Dana reacting to the TUF ratings. It should be a good season in spite of that, I'll be watching for sure.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
Why do people say you can only have a couple title shots in a lifetime? If a fight sells, it will happen simple as that. Just because pundits feel one way, doesn't mean the masses feel the same way. Just look at WWE, they can so the sake main event for 3 months and sell out each time. Just think about what UFC can do with the months or years of build up? Look what it did for Lesnar vs Mir and Silva vs Sonnen.

This isn't the WWE. It is a sport. You don't get title shot after title shot just because people like you

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
Apparently you do when your name is Chael P. Sonnen. An entire season of Chael is going to be amazing, he's going to own Jones on the show, shit talking wise. Shame he's going to get destroyed.

I dunno an argument could be made in Lesnar's case when he got a title shot against Randy Couture at UFC 92. Beating some random dude & Heath Herring (and he probably would have beat Mir if not for Mazzagatti) really worth giving the guy a title shot, or was it because of his hype and popularity.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
Lesnar got the shot that early due to his name and a lack of depth in the division at the time. That was an interesting fight.
