Lyoto declined the title match, probably wanted a full training camp.. Vitor Belfort is fighting Jones now. I kinda like this match up, better than a rematch atleast

This is such a mess. I'll be hoping Belfort gets that flash KO. But Jones is gonna win. This is still a tougher fight than Sonnen. I dont' get the logic.
I agree this whole deal is a mess. I woke up and read about vitor and instantly thought wtf? Went to bed he was fighting machida and woke up to him fighting vitor
This sucks for Alan Belcher, wasn't he training with Eddie to get set to fight Belfort?
how does Vitor get the title shot??
Vitor came out of left field
The guy is what 23? He can barely piss on his own. The UFC needs to keep a shorter leash on Jones so he cant fuck shit up.
It's ironic isn't it though. If he would've just done this to begin with (played ball), his business relationship with the UFC and Dana would still be in tact, he'd get paid earlier, get to take time off sooner, the UFC wouldn't have lost money, the other fighters would've been able to fight and get paid.....and so he finally decides to fight whoever just so they'd shut up, and he's still fighting an undersized LHW who did horribly in his last two fights a weight class down, in a fight that will have little to no impact on his "legacy." Greg Jackson being the master strategist that he is definitely dropped the ball on this one. Lose lose situation for Jones.
Seems like Jackson is the one holding the leash. Jackson has the potential to do to Jones what M-1 did to Fedor.
