The Cum Doctor Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Say if it is Lyoto Machida, challenge for Bones to get used to Machida's style again in nine days. That WOULD be crazy. Or at least Machida would be. I'd imagine Machida would have been asked and he would have rightly told them to fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4chords Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I've seen the words "crazy" and "WOW" being thrown around Twitter. I'll childishly guess Tito Ortiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tibbs Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Like you, I think it will be Chael Sonnen or Rich Franklin. If it's Franklin, I wonder how many times he's helped them by taking a fight. Franklin stepped in for Belfort when it was supposed to be Belfort vs. Silva II this year Why the Fuck would you give Rich Franklin and title shot. Franklin's last fight at 205 was against Forrest Griffin (who he lost convicingly to). There is a world of difference between stepping up to face Silva and stepping into a world title fight in a division in which your last fight was a loss. How has Franklin earned the shot? What about the number 1 conteder Lyoto? As for Sonnen. That would be a massive mistake and what justification would you have for the fight? What has Sonnen done at 205 to earn the shot either?

I don't think either should get a title shot for the reasons you give. I think Franklin would take the fight if offered considering he's stepped in and helped the UFC in the past and I don't think Sonnen would turn down a fight with Jones with only nine days notice. The short time between now and the event is happening has caused difficulties in picking a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 Eh, what's that tweet about? Jones has a lot of explaining to do? What the balls is going on? The suspense is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 If Jones has been busted for something it will be major. More than likely it could be Machida and it would contradict recent comments he has made about fighting him. EDIT: I like your sig Wand, for a ugly bastard Hendo is swimming in it there.

Swift89 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I reckon Henderson is injured, Jones refused all other fights, card is cancelled and all other fights will be placed on other cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 Right I've whittled it down and it has to be either Fedor or Chuck. Has to be. I jest. I have really got a feeling it's a one-off fight at heavyweight though for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Rumor now is that Jones is not fighting at all. Swift89 maybe partially right, Jones looks like he may have turned people down which would reflect people saying that "he has some explaining to do" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I reckon Henderson is injured, Jones refused all other fights, card is cancelled and all other fights will be placed on other cards. I think "history making" would probably be the wrong choice of words for such an announcement though, albeit very true words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philanderin' Dan had a cauliflower cock to match his cauliflower ears that night. He's such a man he's dropping the H-Bomb on bitches three at a time. I reckon Henderson is injured, Jones refused all other fights, card is cancelled and all other fights will be placed on other cards. Well that would certainly be crazy. I hope not.
