Jones doesn't want Machida rematch

Jones doesn't want Machida rematch

Quote:

"I don't want to fight Lyoto Machida," Jones said. "He was my lowest pay-per-view draw of last year.

"No one wants to see me fight Lyoto Machida. I don't want to fight Lyoto again. Lyoto is high risk and low reward.

"He's a tough fighter, but no one wants to buy that fight.

"Between (Mauricio) Shogun (Rua), (Quinton) Rampage (Jackson) and Rashad (Evans), Lyoto was my lowest draw. Why would I want to fight someone where it's a lose-lose situation? "I won't make money on it. And he's a tricky fighter."

Hmm... Not liking this BS here.... Me thinks it makes him sound scared, and like a punk about the $$. He's looking past Hendo too, im sure he will beat hendo but he probably needs to slow his role.

Jones, noone cares what you want. As the champ you should be fighting who you're told to, not who you want to. ESPECIALLY if all you're looking for is a big payday.

Well to be fair, Anderson Silva is his role model.

I don't like Jones, but what he says makes sense. I mean, he'll be perceived as whining and trying to pick fights, which he is; but he's already fought essentially every elite in the division; what does he expect to happen?

Here are your options: Fight Machida and perhaps earn less than you would like, or, fight no one and earn even less.

The pieces are starting to fall into place. Chael/Jones for the title by this time next year.

Wow!
I was never one to hate on Jones for his bitch-like attitude........ UNTIL that comment.

He's bitching because he's not gonna get paid a lot and Lyoto was the hardest win he's had so far.
That's fuckin' weak Jones. fuckin' WEAK!

I really really hope Hendo beats his ass into a tolerable human being again.

When has Joneever not fought who the UfC put infront of him? Hel, he even fought his former teammate.

What Jones says makes perfect sense, and that being said, I'm sure Jones will fight him when asked. He is simply stating his opinion.

How is this any different than GSP saying he doesn't want to fight Condit and would much rather fight Diaz?
