Didn't he say that Chael wouldn't be in the title discussion and he wasn't going to get a shot at Jones with a win over Forrest? That he would have to win a couple (meaning more than one) fight to even get in a contender bout? Now he shit talks Jones for not taking a fight against the guy he said was by far out of the title picture? 
ufc pulls the card not jones
Him and Weidman were the only ones that were going to step up and try to save the card
Do people not realize in times of desperation you do certain things that you might not normally do.
Sonnen would normally not get a titel shot but on 8 days notice when Machida already turned the fight down and is back to Brazil and a guy who is a name and was just in a fight that did 1 mill buys says he is willing to get on a plane and take the fight, you do it.

No you don't, doesn't make any sense. Chael wouldn't even score a takedown against Bones. Bones would kill the dude. He has no business being in there with Jones.

The Chael fight was not going to be for the title.
