While it sucks for those who bought a ticket/trained for a fight, Dana is classless for trying to throw Jon Jones/Greg Jackson under the train for this. Why not try having a card that isn't totally reliant on one fight? That people lost money is Dana White's problem, not Jon Jones's.EddieVanHeineken wrote:yeahbuddy wrote:Jones's team is claiming that Sonnen knew about Henderson's injury 3 weeks ago & has been training for Jones fight.
What f'n cry babies!
That interview with Winkeljohn is funny. Sonnen just fought Silva like what a month ago? I have no doubt that it's a likely possibility that Dana knew that Dan was hurt and may have given Sonnen a tip of the hand that he would be offered the fight ...or that Team Quest kept it on the down low so that their own team member can be the fill-in.
It just goes to show that Jackson/Winklejohn do not have the confidence in Jon to be able to adapt. They don't even have the confidence in him being able to make the right decision and show respect to his opponents...they have to tell him to "go make some fans". His "apology" did not come across as sincere in any way. It's no wonder his own publicist quit.
Once the excuses start you never look good, especially when your already in the shitter.
Plus it was lose/lose for Jones. If he wins he fought a blown up middleweight, if he loses he got his ass kicked by smaller guy.
