MetatronBJJ Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Not sure if this thread has been done before. Apologies if it has. What do you think the crowd reaction in Toronto will be. Are there enough true mma/ufc fans to know that Jones ducked a fight? There are casual fans out there as I type this that don't even know 151 has been cancelled. I used to be a huge Jon Jones fan even after all the mistakes and bs, but what he did by ducking was a straight up violation. I'm still a fan (mainly of just his fighting ability) but he blew it. If I was at 152, what would have been a cheer is now reduced to a polite clap and I think you may hear some boos through the other cheers. What would your reaction be and what do you think the crowds reaction will be?........................................discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S6XStringz Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I believe there's too many immature, greedy people in this world. You're putting yourself first and only thinking of yourself if you're going to boo a man for turning down a fight without knowing all variables and things said. **** happens. Not everyone is desperate to get in the octagon just because a bunch of violence hungry rejects scream for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have stepped up and taken the beating from C.P like a man. I understand he wanted to make the best move for himself, which is cool, but at the expense of his fans, employeer, and the other fighters? not a good move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_Bear Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Im thinking the people who love the sport will certainly heckle him, but chances are the fans who only see the hype and not the substance (or lack thereof) will be frothing how golden child he is. And some will cheer for him just to be ****s LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex_Kwon_Do Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I don't know why they would boo him...their card only got better by him being on it....at any rate a swift beat down of Belfort in clinical style will turn every boo into cheers.

Like him or not for what he did, but the card is more exciting then it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePack19 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 LOL at all the idiots still crying over the whole stituation. They just cannot accept or understand that at the end of the day......cancelling the card was the promoters/Dana's choice. If it wasn't a crappy card to begin with, they could have easily had a back-up plan to keep it going and then everyone who spent money would have gotten a show which would have been better than getting nothing for it. BTW......Jones will get booed big time, but he will still walk away a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule_abiding_poster Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hopefully the crowd will throw rocks down at him if he somehow by some outrageous miracle does manage to win a SD here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FellyBaby Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 last time in toronto, machida was a heavy favorite at the weigh ins, fight night it was pretty even, a bit more applause for machida but when jones won he got all cheers.....i expect the same thing, vitor to be crowd favorite but when jones beats him he will get the applause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
