gurftron - I didn't know Silva took this fight on 8 days notice.
That's the thing, jones wouldn't have fought Chael even if he had three weeks notice, because it was more about not rewarding Chael and giving him a shot at everything jones worked so hard to build.
I doubt jones felt Chael could put him in. A bad position during the fight.
Jones taking a fight against Vitor with a month's notice is different from Andy taking a fight with Bonnar on a month's notice? Hm.
Apparently so. It's also interesting that Jones needs to take notes on taking short notice fights when a third of his fights in the UFC have come on short notice.
Lots of spin for JBJ all of a sudden. The Vitor fight was set up after all the backlash he received. I'm pretty sure Greg Jackson would have advised him to fight Iron Man at that point. Gotta earn some fans.

Horseshit. Jones said that he would fight on the next card from the beginning.

It's not spin at all, the original statement was off base at best. So jones should take note of what exactly.. Do the what he's already done, except DON'T put your title on the line? Oh, ok..
Boise State doesn't run from anybody, he said screw that. I'm gonna leave the mountain west conference for a minute and dominate the SEC by beating Vanderbilt!
UGCTT_mrthesnake - Anderson gets major props in my book. He really has nothing to gain but still steps up. Its not the biggest match up, but I'm stoked for it.
I give props to any fighter stepping in on short notice. Whether its fashionable to hate on them or not.

Not only did Anderson take a fight on short notice, but he hadn't even been training. Jones had been training for months for a fight on Sept. 1st and still chickened out.

Anderson fought in July. Bonnar hasn't fought in close to a year. A bet you anything that he weighed above 250 when he agreed to this fight and is going to come in drained as fuck after killing himself to make 205 in a month.
