Do we hate Machida now?
I give him a pass for fighting 21 days ago and wanting time to recover.
No, because the 152 card is still happening.
Am I right in saying machida took the last fight with bones on short notice? Surely that gives him a pass this time.
yes I will root for him to lose every fight hes in same with Jones

10 weeks is short notice?
Lions of Atlanta - No, because the 152 card is still happening.
Is canceling a fight card up to the headliner?

10 weeks is short notice?
I thought it was 3 weeks?
I could be wrong though.
What was his reason anyone know? This would help me decide but most likely not.
drflugit -Lions of Atlanta - No, because the 152 card is still happening.
Is canceling a fight card up to the headliner?
According to most of the UG, yes. The headliner is also the guy who signs checks for low and mid-card fighters.

The guy I responded to said that Machida took the first Jones fight on short notice. That's bullshit. Rashad dropped out and Machida accepted the fight at the beginning of October last year.

hmmm maybe this is why Joe Silva isn't given access to the public, sounds like this is in his area of expertise.
No. He is still awesome. Let me know when he has a full camp and turns down a gimme fight.
KidPittsburgh - I give him a pass for fighting 21 days ago and wanting time to recover.
Same here. And if he loses this fight that would be two he's lost to Bones. You have to figure he wouldn't get another shot at the title as long as JBJ was champ.
No because he didnt agree to fight on a certain date, come in fully prepared witha full training camp and refuse to fight a gimme match to save a card.
when machida does all that ill hate.

And that...
Was Jones 20 pounds lighter and out of shape?
No
Machida didn't ruin an entire event. So no
drflugit - Do we hate Machida now?
No maybe he was too much overweight to cut back to 205 in a week.
That said he could have made it sept 22nd
So i think he shouldnt be expecting anderson silva money any time soon.
Its a joke do you ever see pro boxers being asked to do what Dana White asks from MMA fighters?
