I voted bad idea. No new ideas to add except in my mind I am going to make the winner of Hendo and Machida lhw champion number 2. That is how I will cope with this bull shit. | Jones cant even train until after 2013... He needs therapy on his elbow(not the type of therapy Sonnen is on)
This isnt really holding up the division.
Machida vs. Hendo should clearly be the next title contender...
If Goose beats Shogun, he could be right on his way to a title shot as well.

Why Does Chael Sonnen Get to Fight Jon Jones? "Because He Stepped Up," Says Dana White | MMAWeekly.com Quote:
If you are a UFC light heavyweight fighter complaining about the recently announced Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen fight… talk to the hand.
The hand of UFC president Dana White, that is.
While many people, fighters and fans alike, have been perplexed at the UFC’s decision to slot in Jones and Sonnen as coaches for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter and then have Sonnen fight for the title in April of 2013, White has a simple explanation.
Timing.
Quote:
“We got the word, after Jon went out and got his elbow checked, that he was out and couldn’t fight until April,” explained White on Wednesday. “So it made sense for him to do The Ultimate Fighter. Machida can fight, Dan Henderson can fight; Gustafsson and Shogun are gonna fight in December, so everything will keep right on moving (in the division).
“Obviously Chael wants this fight, has been asking for this fight. The fans wanted this fight.
“Jon said, ‘I can’t fight until April. I’d like to go in there and whip Chael’s ass and then I’ll defend the belt against whoever you want me to defend the belt against.’ So it made sense.”
| Still, many are going to point to the fact that Chael Sonnen has not fought at 205 pounds in the past half decade, is not a contender in the division, and should not be able to “talk his way” into a title shot.
Again, White would point to the timing, and the fact that several other fighters had their opportunity and when the UFC needed someone to step up, Sonnen was the man to answer the call.
Quote:
“I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Dan Henderson had the opportunity for the fight and he got injured, right? He got injured, now Jones is injured until friggin’ April,” said White.
“Every one of these guys that are bitching about a title shot now, we’re offered a fight and turned it down. They refused to fight Jon Jones. Now, they’re bummed out because Chael stepped up on eight-days notice and he’s gonna coach The Ultimate Fighter and fight him.”
| For White, the equation is quite simple. The best time to make hay is when the sun shines.
Quote: |
“All the top contenders that are pissed off that Chael Sonnen has a title shot are the same guys that I called that turned down fighting Jon Jones.”

Ill try and find a gif | Lol didn't mean to throw Riv off but yeah I was talking about the punch after he got back up and was against the cage.
Either way it didn't seem like a very hard punch tbh and there was a delayed reaction from Sonnen's fall...but I really don't believe that it hit him flush. http://mmaversus.com/2012/07/08/ande...video-ufc-148/
^Check out the bottom video, at 28:00. That is not a very solid punch, man. If it hit his chin it barely touched it, seemed like it definitely hit his arm first.
