Dana White Cancels UFC 151

Another good article regarding the whole issue:

Forget the fans for a moment, and think about what this does to Jones' relationship with the UFC. The same people who stood behind him after he got a DWI for crashing the Bentley they gave him now have a very large loss on their ledger, and they're going to blame him for it. The same people who agreed to sponsor him while he courted Nike are now connecting the dots between the first canceled event in Zuffa history and their champion's refusal to do them a favor when they really, really needed one.

Interesting...

Note: Not the whole article, but I found that bit of text worth quoting.

Dammit, datdamnmachine, that thumbs down was meant to be a thumbs up. I'll rectify.

On the upside, we're probably more likely to see Silva/Jones at some point in the future. If he stepped up to offer to fight Jones, the whole "sorry, we're friends" thing apparently only goes so far.

Pfft. Sonnen is never going to be pissed of at anyone. He's a troll.

Again, **** Chael Sonnen. He is a mediocre fighter who talks a lot. I don't watch the UFC because I want to see motherfuckers talk. I don't even follow between fight drama. **** that ****. **** the 3 months of **** talk followed by the hug and the end of the fight and thanking your beaten opponent for "putting up a hell of a fight". I watch motherfuckers when they fight and that's it. If I wanted man drama I would watch motherfucking WWE or a fucking Telenovela on Telemundo.

**** what Chael Sonnen has to say. And **** what motherfuckers say about Jones. That ************ can fight, and I "buy pay per view" to see him fight. Yeah, his decision here puts him out of favour with his employers, but really his employers fucked themselves with poor business practices.

Again, **** Chael Sonnen. If being good at trolling translated to fighting ability then maybe one of you motherfuckers on here could have stepped up and fought Jones and "saved UFC 151" for the motherfucking fans and ****.

I am amazed that you of all people can't appreciate Chael's trolling.

And I will gladly fight Jon Jones for a title shot and a bag of money as soon as Dana calls me. That's just how I roll. Tiger blood, ************.

Because trolling is cool on the internet. In real life, and in the UFC specifically, it detracts from the motherfucking fighting. A ************ talking his way into the cage and **** embarrasses us all. That's why I always like Hendo, he showed up and fought and then left. **** all that other ****. We here to see motherfuckers fight, not talk **** over twitter and in interviews. It degrades us all.

**** yeah. I know you wishing trolling ability translated to the cage. But sadly those are two different skill sets that, like public masturbation and baked goods, should never be mixed.

I like the strong silent Fedor type. But smack talk is fun too. Again, when in doubt we should ask ourselves - What would Ronda do? The answer is talk smack, then do some smackin'. If it's good enough for Ronda, dammit it's good enough for me. Ronda's a loudmouth bitch too, but whatever. It's just fighting. There's no moral superiority to protect here. It's just some people trying to make each other bleed and quit.
