this is fucking crazy, i'm a little torn though, i think it will make for a awesome season of TUF, giving sonnen the title shot for talking a bunch of shit really diminishes the credibility of the UFC.......at least make the guy win a fight in the weight class against someone respectable

Not terribly happy about this. I wanted Silva / Jones....like 90% of everyone else.

Whats next...
Aldo vs Cain
Cruz vs Glover
Kenflo vs JDS | Yep... Joe Silva chooses the TUF coaches...
Chael is the one who opened up his mouth and campaigned for this fight, after he got beat by Anderson... The UFC knows that Jones vs. Sonnen will sell, especially with the TUF buildup...
Chael needs to be careful what he wishes for... he asked for the fight.

This is beyond retarded, a 6 month hypetrain for a lackluster fight imo. Only person I'd wanna see him coach opposite of is Cormier.

Due to his coaching duties, Sonnen no longer will fight Forrest Griffin (19-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) at UFC 155 in December.

Are you fucking kidding me??!!! Jones is fighting Sonnen next regardless of whether or not he beats Forrest? He is going to leapfrog Machida, Hendo, Goose and shogun?? Why the fuck did ZUFFa pick them fr coaches, while bypassing Bonnar vs Griffen????!!!
Cthulhu why have you forsaken me?
That being said, for those that say jones won't be a good coach; that's highly irrelevant considering the amazing trainers Jones has behind him. Best believe that he will bring in Winklejohn, probably Condit, Clay Guida, etc etc. Jones is young and probably doesn't have any coaching experience, however his camp is the best in MMA so his team will definitely benefit from it. I would choose Jones as coach vs Sonnen any day.
Can't wait to see Jones fuck up Sonnens face with elbows.

This is beyond retarded. It's about time to blast Dana on Twitter.
