_______ fight is for the #1 contender spot

[jeff7b9]

this means NOTHING.

current UFC 205ers who are "#1 contender" & promised a title shot next

Gustafsson (for win over Shogun)
Machida (For kotn over Bader)
Hendo (for foty win over Shogun)

all told they "had the next shot"

and Jones is fighting Chael Sonnen


it is all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[hoorah]

Yeah and? Or are you just venting?

 

[s0deer]

Not really a secret. Buisness as usual

Hendo got his shot eh? you mean like 5 years ago vs Rampage?

He was "#1 contender" for a Jones fight

he got injured before the jones fight.

This is blatantly false. Dana said the winner of Shogun v. Gustaffoson is the next fight for Jones.

 

[Damian Bartlett]

Yay, another thread moaning about Sonnen's title shot. Didn't Dana explain this (whether true or not)? He claimed he asked every 205 guy to coach against Jones and fight for the belt and they all said no, so Sonnen stepped up... again.

Do I think it's fair Hendo got skipped and Machida got punished for not taking a short notice fight against a go who'd recently murdered him? No, but thats just life.

 

[Whitestallion]

Hendo had his chance, he got injured, BACK OF THE LINE.

Machida had his chance, he turned it down, BACK OF THE LINE.

Sonnen stepped up, got the shot.

Hendo vs Machida will be a #1 shot fight.

 

[ayiio]

Dun matter , Sonnen will beat whoever he face for the belt .
