"Why should I allow this guy to go and fight where he's comfortable?" Cormier said at the post-fight press conference. "No, he has to go somewhere where he has to look at people in the eyes and hear the anger they have toward him for the actions that he did."
Jones, who hails from upstate New York, is currently suspended by the UFC indefinitely following his arrest in April on a felony hit-and-run charge. However, the former champion could be back soon. On Tuesday, Jones was given conditional discharge and 18 months of probation. He will not get any jail time and the UFC is set to consider lifting his ban pending a third-party investigation.
I'm no big fan of Jones and I do think the Champ should have some say so where they fight but Cormier doesn't need to be opening his trap about this. Worry about beating him not where you are fighting him. I uses to be a fan of DC. He just rubs me the wrong way every time he opens his mouth.
It's funny...not like he's from Brazil. DC and Jones would get paid so much more in NY. However... DC will let him fight in CA, Vegas, or NM, within 5 hours from his home?
Since when should any champ be able to dictate where a fight take place? I hope the UFC turns around and says you'll fight where we tell you to fight or else be stripped.

i have a raging clue the "third party" investigation wont find anything "conclusive"
Why should it? He's been stipped, lost fights, charged criminally, convicted, has to deal with that all legally, etc... as he should. He deserved it all. But he's back :)

I am no longer a fan of Jones' actions, but he is so fun to watch fight.
I agree about DC. I don't know why and can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm with you, every time he opens his mouth it just makes me want to see him lose.

Pidgey,
I would say that the picture below is very appropriate. Vote up Sir!
Sunkist,
I like you.. and agree with your Cyborg threads. Don't be douche here. Btw, I'm a huge supporter of Cris and have met/hung out with her when I lived in Vegas.
GeoDim - I love DC but he is letting this fake title get to his head.
Fake? Because the old champ rather do coke and cheat on his wife it means DC is a fake champ? DC hasn't stopped training, hasn't been suspended. Hasn't had to go to court for a hit and run, hasn't had to go to court on drug charges. But yeah...that damn fake champ.

Bwahaha! Emotional chica! Jones does so much dumb shit. He really does. He's an idiot. How about this....

They have no right to do that and why the fuck would you hope for that?
