Jon Jones

Lost a lot of respect.

Chael will be chasing his a$$ now!!

Gutted about this, I hate you Jon Jones

Has to be the right choice, from a champ's perspective he has it all to lose - 8 days notice is too short.

And what right has Sonnen earnt to fight him for the belt, after simply putting his mouth about?

Was looking forward to seeing Jones v Hendo, but now looking forward to seeing Jones v Belfort at least, and maybe Sonnen will move weights and actually earn the right to fight.

Sonnen was man enough to step up and you're trying to belittle him? It was HIM who was going into it with only 8 days notice. Into a different weight class. He had been training but not for any fight in particular. Jones was training for a wrestler, which Sonnen is, with a powerful right hand, which Sonnen does not have. Jones would've probably wiped the floor with him but he's a chump for backing out. End of.

I think Jones was 100% correct in turning the fight down.
