Well I've heard the conspiracy theories. They sound reasonable. It very well could be true. Maybe a couple of sparring sessions to help a training partner prepare isn't really getting in fight Shape. Who knows sonnen has shown questionable integrity as well. They could've known they might get the fight who knows. I wouldn't be surprised at either scenario. Most likely I think chael, being a fighter was sparring some, and once it looked like Hendo was going to be out he started working out. Primed to volunteer as a replacement.
Problem still on my end is that even though I understand why Jon chose not to fight. There were still guys willing to fight to save the card, and guys that weren't. One the guys unwilling was the champion.
