Really? I can't imagine anyone would turn down a title fight. If so, I'd like to know who they are so I could laugh at them.

I'm surprised that the UFC is letting fighters just turn down a fight like that.

Didn't Jones get his title shot when he fought Rua on short notice because Rashad Evans was injured? Some might say there's some irony there since he became the "I can decide what I want" champ by taking a short notice fight and winning. Maybe he's thinking Chael could take his title in the same way.

Do you delight in putting words in my mouth? I never said Jones was afraid of Sonnen. I agree with Jones that Sonnen does not deserve a title shot but IF I was a highly athletic and skill title holder I'd accept a fight against someone who had short notice and was TKOed in his last fight.

I would say the same thing to Jon's face.
