Magerget Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Anyone knows why they announced Jones vs Machida and Lyawny Machida THEN pulled out? Did he accept first and back out later or did the UFC jump the gun thinking Dragon would never pull out of a championshipfight? Which would be completly understandable by the way... Mma world is strange right now... Wonder if Gus and/or Shogun was asked and if they were, why they didn't say yes... (Although Shogun vs Gus is a great matchup, maybe Dana and Joe Silva didn't want to undo that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinFoilHat Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Nah they wouldn't have updated the fight card without a sealed deal. i believe the would update the fight card without a sealed deal. takes time to fly over and sign a contract. it's only a month away so they jumped the gun. Oh wow. Machida ducked Jones like Jones Ducked Chael /sarcasm Come on guys, nobody wants to fight championship 5 rounds on 8 days notice. And some people want more than 1 months notice. It's all reasonable. Leave Jonny Alone!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabri1985 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Got a feeling they didn't think Machida would turn down a shot at the title. A month is still long enough to prepare for a title shot, lets face it they would have been working on things to combat Jones as soon a she got back in training after there first fight. Seems like the LHW division is full of duckers while the Middleweights are all men willing to step up on and bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaksame Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 They announced it because that is how unorganized they are,it makes Dana look foolish for laying blame on Jones when the whole thing looks like amateur hour. His whole stance is "i never expected this to happen".You run a business dude,what exactly did you expect? The way Dana makes it sound ,it would have been equally ok to announce Forrest griffin as the replacement.It would have still been Jones fault for not accepting.He can't see past his own hypocrite face,the decision to put Sonnen in was garbage a POORLY orchestrated last minute plan. Next time actually HAVE A PLAN,then you can blame the fighters if they back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
