Hendo out! Jon Jones turns down fight with Sonnen!

Then here is your opportunity to clear the air.

Just having some fun. Check the spelling... I am John Jones just not the one that is in the UFC

My daughters joke that when UFC is on and Jon is fighting my girls say I am fighting again. He is quite a bit younger and much darker than me.
Sorry aobut the joke. Just having fun.

You were supposed to go along with it

On a serious note.
Does Jones have a serious injury or illness? I wouldn't think many of those guys would turn down the payday of a championship fight.

That's what I am trying to figure out. It just doesn't make sense.

I thought about going along with you but I only intended to be on line for a minute or so.

I will go searching elsewhere and see if I can find out.
Ill be back later

So is staying at a bar more than two hours after closing, then finally hitting the road with two women in your car at 5:30 am, then only making it a mile or two down the main drag in town and wrapping your Bentley around a telephone pole.

But Jones did it anyway.

Here is a link where Dana White whines about Jones backing out. I guess that I understand where Dana is coming from but it is not his ass on the line when the fight starts.

Kind of makes sense, 8 or 9 day notice. They both trained together. I think I would want a bit more time to prepare for a specific fighter. Even if Jones is the champion. Prep time is what it is all about.
