Wirerat Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Me: It's baffling. I mean I see the points made, Sonnen darn sure doesn't deserve it, and Jones has everything to lose and nothing to gain. I see that, and that's fine, but it was pretty much the UFC giving Jon Jones a freebie title defense, even Sonnen said as much. That should have been an easy fight for Jon Jones. Yes, they should make Jones vs. Silva now. I can't believe Silva didn't offer to take the fight lol. My Wife: Both have everything to lose and nothing to gain in that fight At least it would be equzl Me: Are all the damned champions primadonna's? Seriously? My Wife: Seems that way. Me: We need some real fighters holding these belts. Some Diaz's, Some Maynards, Some Koschecks, some Weidmans, Some Sonnens, etc. Not these guys who get the belts and act like they are entitled and too special to do anything outside of their comfort zone. They are more worried about holding on to belts than being real fighters. My Wife: They have to win the belt first And everyone who has belts started out like these guys, then turned into "Campions" and became *****es. I love this woman!

She's right but that is nothing new nor will it ever change. Even Diaz & Sonnen would go down that path. Once you get all these major sponsors, you're scared to lose them. It's not about proving you are the best anymore, it's about money & fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She later eluded to Condit sitting on the belt, Jones picking and choosing who to defend the belt against. Silva being super choosy and resistant to certain people, etc. She is on the record saying the best thing the UFC could do for its sport is ban Jackson fighters from the UFC similar to how they did Golden Glory fighters. In other words tell them, if you show up at Jackson's BMA even once between fights, you are OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondsout Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanx for sharing domestic stufff... Do you believe fighters when they say into the camera: "I only fight for the belt!" ??

Wirerat Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 They would never do that' date=' maybe there is a small chance Sonnen would, but Diaz never would[/quote'] Yeah they would. Diaz talks a big game, then runs out of back doors and skips press conferences in order to get out of a fight he's scared of. He then goes on video acting like he's some backyard rebel so his fanbois will crawl up his legs and hug his jigglies. Sonnen would be ten times less likely to be a campion than either of the Diaz brothers. If I'm not badly mistaken, Nate has chosen to sit and wait after his last win. No different than Condit doing it. But it's ok because he's a Diaz. The cure is make there be no belts. Just a constant series of mini tournaments with a ranking system, and the challenge is staying on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic from your main point, but I don't understand how anyone can make such statements as these. Jones has beat all of the top contenders in this division, to the point that they are now having to recuit MW fighters to challenge him. As for Jones having nothing to gain and everything to lose, isn't that what defending your belt is all about? And I definitely agree with your wife's insinuations of "campions" becoming soft, picky, and evasive in putting their belt on the line. The UFC needs title fights now more than ever. They now have 8 weight divisions and 8 belts. NO PPV event should be without one on the main card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Horse Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 No one found this the least bit entertaining. UFC "Campions" ? Not funny? I must be a dork. I think the case is no one believes you are married, or have even touched a woman. I also heard you are so disgusting that your computer crashes when you try to log onto **** sites because even digital women despise you so much. Maybe edit your story and replace Wife with right hand (a la Cartman's J-Lo hand) Folk might believe you then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
