Comments
I still prefer the old broadcasts on SPIKE. :-(
wow Belfort vs Bisping will be on FX and from Brazil
The Picture placed next to the article is weird.
Sonnen and Jones lips are too close for comfort
Sonnen is going to kiss him and than convince the world that Jones is gay.
All part of a planned strategy my friend.
It's called photoshop, and poorly done I might add.
Let the months of annoying and agonizing hype with Sonnen running his diarreah mouth begin.......
All to be followed by his complete destruction at the hands of Jones.
Sonnen won't make it past the first round, and then will laugh all the way to the bank with his big fat check while he considers what fight he will talk his way into next. Maybe a jump to HW?
I really hate the football music and whole announcers behind the desk dragging out the time between fights thing they have with ufc on fox.
I wish Rampage would of coached instead, two reasons. He can hang with the smack talk of sonnen....at least longer then jones can, and hes a better match up for sonnen who could of earned him the spot instead of talking his way up the latter.
