Re: MMA Discussion Thread
I'm interested to see how Jones reacts to Sonnen. Sonnen will no doubt taunt Jon, and try to get in to his head. Will be interesting to see how Jones reacts and handles it.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
It makes no sense whatsoever, Chael doesnt deserve it and TUF has been a dead concept for years BUT you can guarantee myself and everyone else thinking this won't miss a second of it. Here Uncle Dana, just take all my money.
Heres what happens *spoilers* Chael makes funny jokes, Jon cant think of good comebacks so smirks it off, TUF ratings go up a little bit (but probably not that much), Bones smashes him fight night, everyone gets paid, people moan about it online, world keeps turning.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
Wait, isn't Hendo part of Team Quest? I thought him and Sonnen were BFF's

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
I get why Hendo is mad. He has been waiting for a title shot since the Shogun fight and then got injured and is now going to get owned by Machida and he's pissed Chael is getting his shot. Makes sense.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
UFC is just capitalizing on Sonnen while they can. They realize that Sonnen vs. Jones might never happen because LHW is just that stacked of talent. Extremely smart business on UFC's part. Everyone and their mother will wanna see Jones get his hands on Sonnen after TUF. It'll probably save the TUF brand for a bit longer.
Poor decision for the sport though. I'll still be watching though. TUF 17 is going to be fucking awesome.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
Chael is obviously only getting this title shot because of business which is understandable. UFC is a business, first and foremost. But is he winning? Not a chance? The only advantage Sonnen has in this chance is his chin and that won't matter, because Jones isn't going for the KO. He'll clinch him and wear him out with those knees. Sure Sonnen could TD Jones, but in no way is he keeping him down, and Jones submission game is not to be trifled with.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
I think Jones will win by submission. Guillotine choke in the 2nd round.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
Anderson is ducking Weidman, He wants to face a WW in GSP instead of facing Weidman, a MW, that can takedown and submit him.

Re: MMA Discussion Thread
From today's press conference...
Quote:
|
Representative for FX Channel: TUF is going to move off Friday nights. It's going to be on a weekday. Announcement in 30-45 days. "Spike should watch their ass."
|
At first, I thought this might mean TUF would go against Spike's current top show Impact, but then I realized this probably means TUF will go against whenever Bellator is on, as both the next season of TUF and the debut of Bellator are both in January.
That's kind of cool. Like an MMA version of the monday night wars.
