I think it was Orbitz. Don't remember the dates, I think Thursday to Tuesday. Maybe it was Wednesday.

What a Shitty fight. What about Hendo? Machida? Gustaffson? Come on. What a fucking joke.

agreed. Supposedly Gustaffson and Shogun are fighting for the #1 contender spot. I guess Hendo and Machida will probably fight. If I was Hendo, I would have to be pretty pissed that he is going to have to fight (and probably lose) Machida to get the shot while Sonnen just walks into a shot after coming off a stoppage in another weightclass (not to mention theat he kind of lost to Bisping too).

Opener -600 Jones/ +400 Sonnen

I think thats first time I got a line prediction correct.

[SPX]

oh, I am disappoint in the fight. So, they are just going to pass over all the legit contenders? I understand they want to do it, but it just really makes the UFC look like WWE IMO. Sonnen hasn't even fought in this weightclass and has virtually no chance to win this fight. But hey, he talks a lot so...

I agree, mostly.

I mean, it's an interesting fight and I do want to see it. But Sonnen should at least have to beat one top guy in the division before he gets a shot at the belt.

Yea, he has lost 2 of his last 4 at middleweight and arguably lost to bisping, that would be 3 of his last 4. Sonnen should have had to beat at least Forrest, and IMO another top LHW before he got a shot.

[Vandelay]

That line will go to shit soon. Sonnen's gonna wrestlefuck jones for 3 rounds and stay out of subs? not happening.

Sounds like the UFC is going all-in to try and save TUF.

[poopoo333]

"('The Ultimate Fighter') has some tremendous young talent on it," Sonnen said. "I will be taking 50 percent of that talent and teaching them how to fight. The other half is going to be taught how to be selfish and entitled brats by Jones. The good news for that 50 percent is that when the whole thing is over, I'm sure Coach Jones will throw a hell of an after party."

classic

[MMA_scientist]

I guess I should just quit training to win fights and to be exciting for the fans and just go to shit talking school. @danawhite

ha.

and...and:

For the most part, I commend the UFC for making the fights happen that the people love to see," Evans told FUEL TV’s “UFC Toinight.” “But as a fighter, I was like, ‘Man, what’s it gonna take for me to get a chance to get back up in there?’ I wanted to fight Anderson (Silva), but it didn’t end up happening because they said I needed one more fight to be a contender at middleweight. But I guess it’s not the same for everybody.

[SPX]

Dan's always getting screwed out of title fights by the UFC. Remember when he left the last time because DW kept giving him the run around about getting a rematch with Silva?

[SPX]

I keep LOLing at this. . .

[poopoo333]

Sonnen tells media he is the "most in shape" opponent Jones has ever faced. Jones asks "On TRT or off?". Sonnen says ON.

Looks like it will be at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. That's going to be better on my wallet.

[Mr. IWS]

LMAO, I love it!
