From UFC 151 conference call:
Todd Grisham, ESPN:
"Was there an inkling that Dan might not be able to perform and someone tipped Chael off -- like, hey there's a slight chance you could be in this fight, maybe start burning some press up about it?"
Dana:
"Not at all. Not even a little bit because even when I called Chael, I had to track him down. I guess his girlfriend's father had a stroke and he was where that guy lives. Fighting Jon Jones was the last thing on his mind; it blew him away when I called." 
Well there you go--that settles it lol
Has Chael talked about anything but fighting Jones over the last two weeks?
"I had to track him down" ~dana
translation ~ I called his cell phone
This is a bizarre reply. Is Dana suggesting he was personally healing her father's brain damage or something, and was too busy to get a call or email from Hendo or his camp?
So Chael wasnt helping Dan with training for Jones in the past few weeks and had no idea that Dan was hurt at all or even aching prior to the announcement?
"his girlfriend's husband had a stroke"
"I mean girlfriend's dad"
LOL
ghost842 - "his girlfriend's husband had a stroke"
"I mean girlfriend's dad"
LOL
Lol! Yeah, I didn't put that gaffe in because it didn't pertain to the statement but very funny faux pas nonetheless.
need pics of the girlfriend for proof.
Right Hand JO Power - need pics of the girlfriend for proof.
Yes, that is a must to believe...
factoryfeel - "I had to track him down" ~dana

LOL.
Dana:
"Fighting Jon Jones was the last thing on his mind; it blew him away when I called."
Yeah, that's why he spent the entire previous week taunting Jones on Twitter.

Well thank ya, LOL (at myself).
I won't deny I'm not a fan of Malki Kawa, Jon Jones, or Greg Jackson. I see them all as very fake human beings. I don't like Greg's gameplans taking away from the sport that I have loved for years. Don't like Malki...can't pinpoin why. And I admire Jon's fighting ability to a very high degree. But I can't root for him as a person.
If you notice, the vast majority of those threads are informational. Most have tons of views and posts and are a result of (in one case) a scoop I got or quotes that were published but hadn't made it to the board. I'm not sitting here trying to troll (outside of possibly the Collected Wisdom of Jon Jones: August Edition).
To those who are troubled, here are pics of Chael's girlfriend to make up for my volume of threads:
And also, the world's smallest bikini on Chael's previous girlfriend
lucky girls (except for the stroke part)
Damn...Chael smashes nice poon

you sir have my respect and admiration. i look forward to your future threads. carry on.
LilBrockonmychest - Fair enough Alpha but you clearly jumped the gun a couple time by trying to hate on Jones. Even you admitted you were wrong on your "Silva Offered to fight Jones" thread and I think we can all agree that the "Jones Nike deal worth $20K" statement is incorrect. The only source on that number has retracted his statement.
Seems you're putting too much faith in Ariel.
Well, you make a good point....the only two times I have either been flat out wrong (Silva offered to fight Jones) or making a thread on something questionable in Jones making 20k upfront (still possible), Ariel has been the source.
Perhaps Ariel's mind has been elsewhere. Maybe related to his 20k signing with Vivid he recently announced.
