1. Lulz at Affliction comment. Pos rep for you. Seriously. However, fighter bashing (calling them scrubs/cans) is bannable on the forums I frequent.
2. Listen, I understand that this situation sucks for everyone involved. Really, there is no right or wrong answer. I believe that if Jones lost to an out-of-camp Chael on 8 days notice then he doesn't deserve to be the champion. Yes this sport is insane and anything can/does happen. However, with Jones' own issues over "getting fans" and arrogance, it probably would have been better for him to show up and fight someone who wasn't going to have time to prepare at all! You state how Jones won't have time to prepare, but CHael won't either. Additionally, Shael wasn't in camp, in shape, and ready to go for a fight.
3. Yup, it is a lose-lose situation.
4. Both Mauricio e Lyoto turned down the offer to fight him in 8 days. Chael and Weidman were the only ones who offered to fight him. Jones didn't want to fight anybody on 8 days notice.
5. Dana is looking out for himself. He's also looking out for everyone ****ing else who worked that event. Fighters are now completely ****ed as they won't receive show, win, or bonus pay. They now have to try and schedule their bills/payments/etc. upon them getting bumped to another card. Fine if your Jon Jones, not so fine if not. They have managers, coaches, gym fees, nutritionists, flight bills, visas, so much to pay and now just got ****ed. When a whole event is canceled, plenty suffer.
6. Jones is too cocky.
