I reread what i said and it makes no sense that's my fault. What I meant is he should just stop talking his action outside the ring are beginning to blur his actions inside the ring. What i meant is he is champion and should act like one (imo he is not acting like one). He is a great talent I don't like him but he is a great fighter. All in all he should just shut up and fight. Let his work in the ring do the talking for him.

I know, it just seems as it's meant to stir shit up at this point. Is there a video or anything of Jon talking about paying the fighters or is it just coming from a 'personal source' at this point?

I can't tell if Jones is being serious or not anymore but whatever he's doing, it wins the controversy award of the year.

I really don't think this is what Greg had in mind when he said "go get some fans"

It appears Jon Jones has decided to take over where Lesnar left off. Big PPV buys because people will pay in the hopes he loses. Playing the heel is very profitable.

Thats the beautiful thing about turning heel. You don't have to live up to anyones expectations and you can be yourself. Jones tried the humble approach and it got him absolutely no where with the fans.

If this is true I might start liking this dude now.

Jones needs to choose his words better...

However it is ridiculous to think he should have paid the other fighters...

Hendo got injured, and he didnt want to fight a last second opponent.

It was the UFC's fault... they knew good and well that if Jones wasnt on the card it could have easily been one of the/if not the lowest selling PPV's ever. They need to structure their cards differently... You would think they would learn from the past as well.

Ya... If people are watching to see him get beatdown... it doesnt make a difference... they are still watching him.... Helps his bottom line.

Jones is never going to recover from this PR nonsense. He can't make himself stop screwing up.

If Jackson were half as influential as people say he is, he'd be able to do something. But he's not.

It's gotten beyond entertaining, now it's just sad.

I'm not sure what should have been done differently: Henderson's medical team felt he could fight with three weeks of rest. So he didn't tell anyone and he rested, and it didn't work out. He didn't wait until the last minute, he told people with a week left.

I can't see how Henderson gets any blame here at all.

I can see where the UFC gets blame for a weak card, for actually thinking sonnen was a viable opponent, and for dana utterly mismanaging the negotiation. I can see where Jones gets blame for not fighting a MW who poses no serious threat to him, and for playing a confused teenaged diva after the fact.
