shinyaaoki Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 saw it on UFC tonight special edition. I'm wondering besides Machida, which other brazillians did he ask to fight Jones or was this just a shot at Machida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor_Obviously Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I recall on UFC on Fox when Dana was explaining how Machida gets the title shot "he wants it, he's the one who's been hounding me and pushing for it"...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetatronBJJ Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Who is really surpirised? Look at the link below. Andy said that NO Brazilian is capable of defeating Jon Jones(including JDS). The only person who can defeat this evil is Captain America aka Randy Cou...scratch that...CHAEL P.

Leiting Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Somewhat par for the course. Dana White likes to get out there and instigate situations, and certainly he is no stranger to in essence challenging the manhood of fighters in his company if they don't volunteer to fight. It's something I think Dana struggles to understand - in his eyes he's offering these high profile matches, and he doesn't seem to appreciate that fighters don't want to take fights they aren't confident in. Many people point to this very problem as one of the things that is "killing" boxing (a ludicrously hyperbolic statement, but perception is perception). I think he will continue to basically call out his own fighters and throw them under the metaphorical bus as more and more fighters will seek to protect their legacy and not take the fights that are offered. When Dana took over the UFC, he was surrounded by guys who were so desperate to fight they would have taken on an insane challenge for 15 or 20k. Now we have fighters who are earning high six figures per fight, plus maybe another 20-30% of their purse on top in endorsements. The desperation for a lot of these guys to take any fight that comes their way is gone. There is coming an era of business savvy fighters who aren't going to take every chance put in front of them - and this probably not only scares Dana, but I'm sure it also angers him and also may be confusing to see how quickly the industry has changed in less than a decade.

Leiting Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Stopped reading there. Thank you for pointing out my typographical error. I was obviously going for the expression "par FOR the course" not "par OF the course." Sometimes my mind goes faster than my fingers and I make silly mistakes like that. I certainly can't make you read my post, but I would be interested in hearing your perspective on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coreyflipp Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Jones wouldn't last a round with JDS. Yep. The first combo JDS put together would have Jones tumbling and diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
