I think Dana wants Chael as Champion

[WeidmanPowerMMA]

He moved fight to 185 knowing Chael has better chances beating Vitor at MW, maybe even Chael asked for it to be at MW, and he's getting that title shoot if he passes Vitor.. Wrestling will win on UFC 175

 

[Han Solo]

Chael is a big draw and sell tickets, and he's a real entertainer.

 

[VikingMMA]

All the Americans seems to love Sonnen, every yank wants him as a Champion lol. Vitor is gonna stomp him.

 

[DLX]

No way he beats Weidman And he has an even lesser chance of beating Machida.

I'd rather see him fight Jacare if he beats Vitor. That would be an interested fight for sure.

They moved the fight to 185? Good. It is completely ridiculous for a 205 lb fight to be a title eliminator for 185. Has nothing to do with Sonnen.

 

[Spindrift0036]

He's getting what ?

Dana: Chael Sonnen vs. Vitor Belfort is at 185, title shot if Vitor wins

White also confirmed that the Sonnen-Belfort fight would be at 185. When asked if it was for the #1 contender he said, "it is for Vitor."

 

[FallonFoxGOAT]

Chael would fold like a chair as soon as Weidman touched him once.

And forgot using his only tool (wrestling).

 

[TheRassler]

I'm not even a big fan of mma wrasslers but I think chael is hilarious.

 

[DarthChen731]

No.

Yes, but only a month till fight, and Chael 2 days ago said he gained 9 pounds in Brazil.. :redface:

 

[Diet Otsuka]

yeah, but who doesn't want him as champ?

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

As long as Weidman has the belt at MW and Jones has the belt at LHW Sonnen isn't winning a belt.

 

[WeidmanPowerMMA]

He's getting what ?

Dana: Chael Sonnen vs. Vitor Belfort is at 185, title shot if Vitor wins

We all know he's getting it if he passes Vitor, Chael is a draw, and Dana likes MONEY. not gonna be first shoot for Chael :icon_lol:

TS has reading or listening comprehension issues.

Dana wants the same thing all promoters want..... guys that get butts in seats and eyeballs on the screen. Yeah, having the most legit fight every time is great. But as I said in another thread, you have to sell spectacle as well. Remember Lesnar? Biggest Boom the sport has seen. Remember Japan? Spectacle was part of it.

 

[FallonFoxGOAT]

I'm not even a big fan of mma wrasslers but I think chael is hilarious.

And yet you want DC as champ

 

[icecap]

Dana isn't dumb enough to think Chael can possibly beat Weidman.

 

[TheRassler]

And yet you want DC as champ

DC is a wrestler, not a rassler.

wrestler's use their wrestling to finish guys either by TKO or sub.

rasslers use their rassling to lay on people to decisions.

there's a big difference, plus, I want jones to lose his belt lol.

 

[GAR]

Chael is a fool, hes playing wrasling in a real fighting sport, hes gonna get his ass handed to him one day, mark my words.

 

[xP]

Yes, but only a month till fight, and Chael 2 days ago said he gained 9 pounds in Brazil.. :redface:

I get that it's really short notice but if you want a MW title shot you should at least be a MW.
