Game Description: Destroy All Humans! 2 is the sequel to the widely acclaimed hit! The irreverent sci-fi action to the Swinging Sixties with new and improved game features, open-world gameplay and co-op multiplayer. Go back to the days of Free Love, the Cold War and other 60's era icons. Use an upgraded arsenal of weapons and enhanced mental abilities to battle a variety of enemies from secret agents and giant creatures, to Soviet Forces and alien warriors. Turn the tables on traditional sci-fi action games by playingthe Alien and taking on the most feared enemy in the galaxy -- mankind.
In my recent review of Rockstar's Bully, I called the game on the carpet for being a one-off, more-of-the-same experience that neglected to polish the rough spots permeating all of that developer's titles. It's an interesting coincidence then, that my next game up for review would be Pandemic's (DAH2). A textbook sequel in every sense of the word, DAH2 is even guiltier than Bully of hewing closely to a previously-established formula. However, Pandemic has made great strides to polish and improve an effort that was quite enjoyable the first time around, and their work is appreciated.
Starring the same antisocial alien from the first Destroy All Humans!, DAH2 advances the story forward 10 years, leaving the Red Scare '50s behind to examine (and ridicule) the Free Love '60s. It's great timing, actually, since the invading gray Cryptosporidium and his leader Orthopox manage to clone genitalia for themselves at the game's opening.
Although artificially generated nubby bits and their use is riffed on several times throughout the game, DAH2's real draw isn't the hit-or-miss writing, but rather, its open-world "sandbox" style play.
Roughly analogous to something like Grand Theft Auto with flying saucers, Destroy All Humans! 2 provides a focused and polished experience. Employing several different types of weapons at Crypto's disposal both on foot and in his UFO, players are free to follow the story's tasks or to simply explore and demolish things. Locations under attack include a bleak Russian installation, a growing
To be perfectly frank, the only difference between DAH2 and its predecessor is that all of Crypto's abilities and equipment have been reworked to function painlessly. Crypto can transmogrify inanimate objects to instantly replenish ammunition, his saucer can regain health almost immediately, and the game offers two different abilities which are capable of nullifying large groups of attackers. An even more significant difference is that after being defeated, Crypto is re-cloned without losing any progress while a mission is underway. There are a wealth of other small touches that will probably only be noticed by people who played through the first game (the ability to find hidden items is a great bonus) but the end result is that Destroy All Humans! 2 is much friendlier and less frustrating than the original. In my book, this is an extremely positive thing.
However, despite being a fan of '50s sci-fi and someone who enjoyed the first Destroy All Humans!, I have to admit that I was resistant to sit through a game so similar to the first. It's to the developers' credit that the sheer smoothness of gameplay and re-tuned mechanics made it easy to let myself get beamed back aboard the mothership for another round of anal probing. That said, the level of finesse in its craftsmanship can only take this franchise so far.
I enjoyed tossing tanks into the ocean with telekinesis and leveling city blocks with my destructo-ray, but there's nothing here to win over people who didn't appreciate this formula the first time. Pandemic has done an admirable job of improving something that was better-than-average to begin with, but any future installments should be cautious about making another trip to the same well.
Disclaimer: This review is based on the Xbox version of the game.
According to ESRB, this game contains: Crude Humor, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, and Violence
Parents should be cautious about letting their children play this game. Despite the "T" rating, incidents of salty language popped up more frequently than I would expect, and the level of sexual innuendo is through the roof. Although things never get extremely graphic, my feeling is that this game is bordering on "M" territory. In terms of violence, players are capable of disintegrating passersby, as well as hitting them with the old anal probe and watching the brains explode out of their heads. It's great fun for people mature enough to appreciate the content, but my gut feeling is that young ones should stay away.
Fans of the first Destroy All Humans! can expect a clone (ha ha) of the first game, with the exception that all the mechanics have been completely re-tuned to be a lot more player-friendly. The difficulty level is also much lower than the first game, and the entire adventure is quite frustration-free. I didn't find the writing as humorous this time around, but there are still some good chuckles to be had, and in general, the game is as smooth as butter. If you liked it the first time, you'll like it this time.
Sandbox gamers who enjoy the open-world set up of something like Grand Theft Auto will likely appreciate this game, though it is definitely on a smaller scale. The story and missions are more focused, the areas are smaller, and there isn't as much content as the genre's current front-runner. These things are not necessarily negative, however, and as someone who can enjoy games that don't devour every ounce of my free time, I felt there was enough to satisfy.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers have the option to turn on subtitles in the game's menu. Although practically all of the dialogue is delivered via voice over, Pandemic did an excellent job of captioning the speech and I had no problems playing the game with the volume turned completely off. A tip of the hat to Pandemic for making sure the audio side of this game was accessible. Thumbs up.

Hello and welcome to my American Artist site! I'm a forty-something artist and mother of two... I've began taking painting classes in December 2006, and I enjoy working with oils, watercolor, mixed media and acrylic. I've won a few local awards and one national award (in oil painting).
When I can I love to go scuba diving, camping and traveling. I also enjoy photography, creative writing, stimulating conversations and great music. More than anything else I enjoy art, viewing, participating in, studying and sharing ideas! I try to keep pushing myself to get better, try new things (even outside my comfort zone - like acrylic - lol). I feel that we learn and grow and add new aspects to our work when we try new/different mediums.
Please feel free to leave comments on my art pieces... I'd love to hear from you. :)

In Excel for Mac 2011 Essential Training, author Curt Frye gives a comprehensive overview of Excel, the full-featured spreadsheet software from Microsoft. The course covers key skills such as manipulating workbook and cell data, using functions, automating actions, printing worksheets, and collaborating with others. Exercise files accompany the course.
When you first start Excel 2011, the program can be pretty intimidating. In this movie, what I'll do is show you how to run Microsoft Excel 2011 and then walk you through the basics of the program window, showing you how to move things around and so on, and I'll also introduce the user interface elements. So, the first thing is how do you run Excel 2011? If when you first installed Office 2011 Excel ended up on your launch pad, then you can just click the Excel icon, and the program will run. If you don't see it there, then here is how you run the program.
You go to your hard disk and then go to Applications, and within the Applications list, you go to Microsoft Office 2011, and from there, double-click Microsoft Excel, and the program runs. When the program appears, you'll see the Excel Workbook Gallery. The gallery contains tools that you can use to create a new blank workbook, or you can also create workbooks based on templates. So, for example, if you are a consultant and you need to put together your time for your boss, then you can use the Consultant Time Tracker template.
If you're putting together a list of your customers for their names, addresses, phone numbers, and so on, then you can use the Customer List template. I'll get into using templates in a later movie, but for now, let's just create a blank workbook. To do that, you make sure that Excel Workbook is highlighted, and you see it here outlined in orange, and then press Return. When you do, Excel creates a blank workbook. Like any other program in the Mac operating system, there are a number of window controls that you can use. For example, here, in the top-left corner, you'll see that you have the red, orange, and green buttons.
The red button is the close button; if you click it, Excel will close the current file without closing the program. You also have the minimize button; if you click that, Excel sends the file down to the launch pad. To bring it back, click the icon, and that reappears. If you resize your window, which you can do by dragging this control here at the bottom right-hand corner and just dragging until the window is the size that you want, if you do that and you want to return the window to the full screen, just click the green button here, and it restores it to its original fullscreen size.
Some other user interface elements that you'll encounter quite a bit: The first is the menu bar here at the top of the program window. If you click Excel, you have Hide Excel, which sends it down to the launch pad and also Quit, if you want to end the program entirely. And there are other elements, so, for example, working with files, editing what is already in your workbook for copying, pasting, finding things, and so on. We'll get into all of that in a moment. The next user interface item that you'll use are the buttons on the toolbar, and those are here in this line.
So, for example, if you want to create a new workbook, you can click the New Workbook button. If you want to open another workbook, you can click the Open button, or if you want to save your work, you can click Save this workbook, and so on for printing and other items that I'll get into later. The third user interface element, the Ribbon, which is where the Home, Layout, Tables, and other tabs appear, is new in Excel 2011. If you haven't used it before, it's a new user interface organization principle that Microsoft uses to put the commands within functional groups.
So, for example, if you want to create a chart, you can click the Charts Ribbon and see all of the elements that are available for creating and manipulating charts. The workbook window itself has what are called horizontal and vertical scrollbars. So let's say, for example, that you have some data below row 26, which is the last row currently shown on the screen. To reach that data, you can go over here to the scrollbar and either drag this bar to move down, or you can use the scroll up and scroll down buttons to move within the window.
This is the scroll down button, and this upward-pointing triangle is the scroll up button. Similarly, you can use the horizontal scroll buttons to scroll right and to scroll left, or you can drag the bar. The Excel program window provides a flexible environment for you to manage your workbooks. In particular, the ability to resize the program window or hide it without closing Excel gives you a great deal of freedom to determine how you can make Excel work for you.

MAC Dark Side Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches
The Sultry Season: MAC Dark Side Lipstick
MAC Dark Side Lipstick ($14.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep cool-toned burgundy-tinged red with an amplified creme finish. It's completely opaque with a very creamy texture. I love the way it applies–even, smooth–and it wears so well. I usually get three to four hours with a lot of MAC lipsticks, but with such an intense, opaque shade, I can easily get four to five, and a subtle stain will remain for another hour as it fades away.
Is this the right red for you? Would you wear it?
The Sultry Season is a series of posts featuring deep, rich shades of brown, berry, plum, and wine lipsticks and lipglosses — just right for autumn — that runs through October 2010.

I give up on Burton
These boots are a joke. Sure, they're nice and stiff...while the lacing system holds. I got 9 days out of their lousy lacing system before it quit holding the laces tight. Now, I am on the verge of a 7 day trip and I will have no boots.
They're not any better than my old Driver boots with normal laces. Plus, the laces are not changeable in the field. That means if you break a lace in the back country, you are hosed.

UFC 151 Event Cancelled: Hendo Injured, Jon Jones Turns Down Sonnen Match, Books Machida In Sept. | UFC NEWS
For the first time in UFC history, the UFC has cancelled an entire event due to an inability to book a main event.
Dan Henderson was forced to pull out of the UFC 151 main event due to a torn MCL and the UFC put together a deal with Chael Sonnen to come in on 8-days notice and fight the champ, Jon Jones.
While on today's media call Dana White had the following to say.
"This is probably one of all-time lows as being president of the UFC in the past 11 years. For the first time in 11 years we are going to cancel an event.
Dan Henderson has a partial tear in his MCL and couldn't continue. HE tried to train he tried to continue to work out. He saw doctors and there was nothing we could do.
For someone to fight Jon Jones on 8 days' notice is tough to do. But to be totally honest with you guy's one guy did. He said I would fly to Las Vegas tonight and fight him. Chael Sonnen accepted to fight Jon Jones, wanted to fight Jon Jones. As of 8 o'clock last night we had a fight. We started working, I was going to do this call and it was going to be a different call.
The one thing in a million years that happened happened. Jon Jones said he would not fight Chael Sonnen. A guy who is a world champion and one of the pound for pound best fighters turned down a fight and that has never happened.
It will be Jon Jones vs. Lyoto Machida Saturday Sept. 22 at UFC 152
… Greg Jackson is a sport killer."

Looks good on you Dana maybe you'll stack the PPV cards in the future instead of relying on the main event to carry you through…..that's what the undercard is for. And Ellenberger/Heiron co main event what the fukc were you guys thinking? And one more thing I don't blame jones for declining the fight against what the hell have you done lately Chael Sonnen, even though Bones would destroy him!
thank you.. "what the hell have you done chael… "
jon jones is a pussy for not taking that fight a real champ would of fought anybody
Jon Jones is a B*tch!! a p*ssy ass n*gga..
for turning down that fight and Chael Sonnen….
Chael F*cking Sonnen is a MAN… a real f*cking
MAN with Cojones of an Elephant!!! I have a new
found respect for this MAN… offering to step up
and fight this KID….
Well said
Says' the bitch from behinh hic computer.. JBJ can choose to fight who ever he wants. Chael just wants his name back in lights, HE LOST HIS LAST fight he doesn't get to fight the champ he gets to sit on the sidelines and cherp like a bitch
To MR. Magoo , Really I think jone jones is a punk for ducking Chael .
I like that, heavy on the MR super Mario! Where in the fukc were all these Chael Sonnen fans 6 weeks ago? Why in the hell would JBJ want to fight an unranked 205er in Chael ?
He's finished shogun, he finished Rampage, he finished machida all #1 contenders why in the hell would he want to go backwards? Oh I know so all you cry baby whining fans have an event Sept1, you wanna lay the blame, blame Dana White and the UFC for putting together a lame ass card!
Jones is a bitch,shit if hes that good then why not clown chael and let the world know THIS IS WHY IM THE BEST,but nope he got that Nike money now fucking wit his ego.
Plain simply JBJ should do want to do it to shut Chael up number one. Chael talked a bunch of shit and then Jones talked a bunch of shit back and told Chael if he is going to disrespect him to do it to his face and then he doesn't accept the fight (JBJ is being a bitch). Another reason he should accept it is because Chael is not much different from Dan Hendo. I'm not saying Chael is better but they are essentially the same fighter stylistically. If anything negotiate with Dana to make it a non-title fight. Three, JBJ was given a shot at the title because Rashad Evans was injured. He should remember the opportunity given to him and he was not a number one contender (remember what got you this point). I'm not saying Chael deserves it by any means but if he stepped up and said he would take the fight then kudos to him. Four, if JBJ was so confident he would just fight him and kick his ass (I know he could destroy Chael). 5. I was getting the Hendo/Jones fight and I would purchased the Sonnen/Jones fight but I will not purchase the Machida/Jones II fight.
You really think bones is ducking him? he didn't duck shogun, machida or hendo, but he's scared of chael….?
I'm guessing its probably because Jones thinks chael doesn't deserve it, and be fair… he doesn't at all.
He is an employee of the UFC. He shouldn't be allowed to pick and chose who he fights. If you want to be the champion, beat everyone they put in front of you!! How long will it be before Jones becomes the new Mayweather? He says he only fights for money… Jones v Sonnen on 8 days notice would have been huge!! More than enough time for Chael to drum up the interest. But instead he misses his payday for a cheaper one in a few months. For a fight he has already said wasn't worth it for him!!! Open your eyes!!! The "champion" is ducking challengers. That is a disgrace to the sport!!!
Chael would destroy John Jones. Jones would spend the entire fight on his back and he knows it. Real Champs fight ANYONE they are offered. PERIOD. Run Johnny Run
jon jones is a fucken pussy
**** ****, *****, ******** so **** you
jon jones said he would not fight jon jones? proof read
1 i don't understand why people duck sonnen. he creates great hype which creates great money and jones says he fights for the money. and sonnen has 12 loses is he really that threatening to one of the best fighters right now. 2 everyone calling jones a bitch is a bitch. the guy could ruin all of you. i don't like jones i don't like what he did but have some respect for someone who fights trained fighters for a living
Proof read your inability to proof read. That sentence was a continuation of Sonnen's desire to fight JBJ.
really? because they changed it to make it right. dumbass
Steve O will not stand for imperfection. STEVE O is the perfect Human Being.
Give them a break ass hole. Nobodys perfect except you.
As much as I don't think Sonnen deserves to fight Jon Jones, the man offered 8 days notice and Jon Jones ducked him. Period, this is unacceptable of a champion and he does not deserve to hold the title.
I agree Robert Wilkie , This guy (John Jones) got all big headed to quick to fast, I mean c'mon if he thinks its a such easy fight , why not fight the guy and get it over with. I think jone jones has bein talking to Anderson spider sylva. For support. F.. those two grease monkeys
ffs all they had to offer was chael sonnen? ufc is going downhill fast!
Asking Sonnen isn't going downhill.
As for having a champ who ducks fights against people because of "the money" on the other hand is.
No reason for Jones to fight Sonnen. He is not a contender, he needs to earn his shot..
I agree, this fight would be lose-lose for Jon. The champ shouldn't have to game plan for one guy for weeks and then be expected to take on whoever challenges him the loudest.
Yah, I get everyone's point that Sonnen didn't earn his shot, but this is exactly the point where this was the only way to save this event. I'm pretty sure they asked all the other viable 205 contenders & they declined! And Sonnen, even though isn't the best substitute, I would have bought this fight, if he actually was to replace Hendo. I'm looking at it like, if you're the champion it doesn't matter who u're fighting, u'll win regardless because u're the best. Also, both guys have the same amount of notice time! 8 days is 8 days watcha gonna do about it! Its just my opinion.
Ok so when Kenny Florian moved down to get a shot at Jose Aldo, did you complain then too? You really think Chael at 205 wouldn't be a contender? lmao. You're retarded.
That would make sense if the fight was a few months away and the UFC is trying to find Jones an opponent but that's not the case. Jones is a champ and should step up to save the card the please the fans, this business is about pleasing the fans since Jones now wants to talk about the business side of the sport. Jones did the opposite. He turned down a fight, and the card was cancelled.
Jones is a bitch. All you fan boys can talk of the crap you want. Hendo had a better chance than Chael and still wouldn't fight? And don't tell me Jackson controls him, he's a grown ass man. If you don't see jones devolving than your not paying attention. Chael hasn't been training for a fight but willing to take it on 8 days. Just sad to see this turning more and more into drama. Say what you want but fuck jones. Simply for the fact that he's the reason they canceled the first UFC ever
you guys smell something? i diffidently smell something..yup its jon jones vag
BullShizzle!! Sonnen offered him his purse and was willing to fight on 8 days notice and Jones bloody says no? Now the whole card has been cancelled…Way to go chump lost a lot of respect for you here.
lol chael is funny, he wouldnt give him his purse hes fully of shit
hes funny though. i like him, hes a crackhead
Bones vagina is peaking through his gym shorts
This is crazy. I don't understand why Jones would not take this fight. I am a JJ fan but this is ridiculous. Shogun didn't turn down the fight when JJ was offered the title shot on short notice. And to turn down Chael… Chael is not that different from his previous opponent Rasahd Evans. These two in my opinion have the best take downs in the UFC along with a few other fighters. Chael however doesn't have the same level of striking as Rashad. On paper at least it would be an easy win for Jones. One that would sell a lot of paper view and make fans happy. To refuse is just not acceptable…
Much respect for Chael for stepping up. Lost a lot on JBJ. COWARD!
jon jones is a bitch! and i just respect sonnen even more each time cant believe he stepped up for that!, although… why dont they try and get lyoto for this one? o at least not cancel the event they still had great fights besides jones- henderson… damn hendo… i love that guy but why'd he have to get his shit torn intead of jones's?!
Jon Bones Jones is a classless champion who has officially ducked Chael Sonnen. 8 days notice Chael was going to take to fight him and he said no (1st champ in history to do this) causing for the first time in history, a whole ufc card to be cancelled. *Slow clap for JBJ*. You're a douchebag
Way to go, champ. Thanks for screwing the fans.
*insert golf clap*
theyve never cancelled on a main event failing before….. shows that the card was week and would have poor ppv attendence. it would be a loss of money as everyone was gonna buy just for hendo vs bones and nothing else
while its a bitch move, the same reason bones wont fight chael is the very reason why every other fighter didnt step up to fight bones.
any of the other 205's could have but its too last minute as it would damage their chances when they feel they are actually ready and have already lost to him so they get ignored.
jones has done what the other 205ers have done, he didnt sign to fight chael
i would like to see them fight though
LMFAO tell me Dana really said that Jackson is a sport killer, that is fucking funny as hell.
That is the one bright spot in this whole debacle.
Thanks to Jon Jones……I know at my job I really dont have much say as what activity I take on next. So now that he is the champ, he will continue to pick who he wants and maybe even start to do the "lay and Pray" stratagy…#UFCchampsbecomingpredictable.
WTF! JBJ declining to fight Sonnen. I agree that Sonnen has not deserved this opportunity, but he was offerred it and accepted on 8 days notice. My respect for JBJ has been lowered. I feel for the fans, and the other fighters on the card, that JBJ pussied out, and now an entire event is down the tubes. JBJ, you are a pro, and the champ, wtf you scared of? You would probably have given Sonnen a whopping, or would you have. Un freakin believable! Grab some balls JBJ!
Sonnen said Jones would not want to fight him, ever. And looky looky.
That is fucking brutal…………..
That is some bull. Maybe sonnen doesnt deserve a shot yet but if he is willing to fight they should fight. Jon Jones has disappointed me today. I am a big fan but when it comes down to it if you consider yourself the best of the best then you should be willing to fight anybody at anytime. Chael way to step up on 8 days notice. I am so frustrated by this it sucks i wanted to see either one of these fights.
Ya know.
jon jones is such a little bitch! much respect for sonnen taking the fight on 8 days notice! damn henderson why'd you have to tear your shit up intead of jones's?!
After all that shit bones talked about Sonnen and he won't fight him??? DON'T BE SCARED HOMIE! Bones don't want it with The American Gangster… Hendo gets injured you fight a replacement.. Sonnen.. how did you get ur title shot? Oh yeah an injured rashad gave you his spot but you don't wanna do the same for Sonnen… Ur weak.. machida will get yo ass this time
i liked jon jones but not anymore, defend ur belt u awkward person!
First time post just to say awkward person is the best insult ever!
But while I am at it, as someone said they both technically had 8 days notice … seems fair.
His job is not to hold the title, his job is to entertain. That is what keeps the UFC on top and rolls in his pay checks, needs to grow a pair and be a true champion.
He's a fighter, not an entertainer. He's also a champion. His job is to defend his belt, which is what he specifically is NOT doing.
You got it ass backwards dude. The fans want champs who defend their belt against all challengers, not sissies who pick and choose their fights so they can retire with a strong "legacy"…
destroyed a whole card cos he woudnt fight a guy who came in with no preperation and offered to fight him who is a far smaller guy anyway,so what if he didnt earn it he was told there was no1 else and there would be no ufc without the fight happening,was a big fan now ur the biggest douchebag in mma to me
Say what you want about Chael. But he wants to fight. For a guy as imagine conscious as Jones is, this is a terrible move
Lol so glad JBJ didn't take the fight!!! Chael leap frog everyone for a title lmao, what is this WWE? Hendo sit your old ass down already, you know damn well you been hurt and it was a plan that back fired on Dana, Chael and Hendo. Damn dummies!!!
You could very well have a point there. That would be the reason Sonnen has been talking so much trash to Jones lately. Trying to amp up tension and start a rivalry.
Dana White is a bastard for even introducing the premise where a champion has to take a fight against a new opponent IN 8 DAYS! If the card has to be cancelled, then so be it. Unfortunate as it seems,it is what it is. Jones hasn't trained for Sonnen. How do critics of the sport take it seriously when something so unprecedented and unusual is put forward basically to make an event work. This isnt the chicken wing eating contest of easter New York, this is the undisputed Light Heavy weight championship of the world. Give the man time to prep. He has destroyed everyone put in front of him.
Seriously buddy? Do you even watch mma? Jones got his title in the exact same way you just described and called BS. A champion should be gracious, fearless and a leader of the organization he/she represents. JBJ has shown his true colors today… As a self interested, selfish, bitch of a champion
@Adam, the difference between me and you is that you are reading this on your computer and I am writing this in my gym where I train athletes and fighters. It is beyond preposterous what Dana is trying to do. I understand he has to recoup monies and try to save the event but he threw JBJ under the bus by throwing in that Sonnen caveat. I have booked my fighters in 2/3 days notice for smokers and small events but I am completely small fry in comparison and if I was Jones's adviser, I would laugh in Dana's face and call him a moron for even suggesting that. Again, this is for the Championship of the world. Why do you think the champion of the world doesn't need time to prep, doesn't have doubts, doesn't need to build strategies for his opponents? My anger is most directed at Dana because only the very stupid would ask Vladimir Klitchko(Boxing's HW champ) to take a new opponent on 8 days notice. Dana should try to treat this less like a circus act and more like a sport. Fighters aren't machines.
as a fan, im angry as i was looking forward to this but after reading Lionstranglers post, i can partially understand the business aspect which is something I don't usually think of. Thanks Lion. Still disappointed but your post has me thinking about this in a different light.
Since when is 8 days and 42 days the "exact same way"? Seems like a pretty big difference to me but I'm no math wizard.
So JBJ got his title shot on 8 days notice? Cause I swear Shogun needed time to recoup from destroying Machida???
Of course Sonnen would take the fight. He has nothing what so ever to lose.
That's what I felt when everyone was giving him props for courage. He's got two good built-in excuses with the step up in weight class and the 8 day's notice.
IM HAPPY AS FUCK THAT JONES TURNED DOWN THE CHAEL FIGHT. i think its a damn shame that dana is riding chaels nuts this hard. the dude cheated just to compete with anderson. then he literally gets kicked out of mw by anderson in humiliating fashion, and he automatically gets a shot at the lhw crown? wat shocks me the most is that u dumb ass fans are mad at jones for turning down sonnen? jones did wat anderson tried to do, and thats never allow a cheater another big money fight and chance at gold when the dirty mother fucker doesnt deserve it. i really cant believe chael was even an option. im truly disgusted. fucking DISGUSTED.
Since when is it ever humiliating to get knocked out by anderson? Are you retarded. The point is they found a man willing to accept a fight with a very dargerous opponent on 8 DAYS NOTICE. Thats no preparation whatsoever, especially when dealing with JJ. So the least he could do is man up just the same as chael and support the organization that pays you big bucks to wrap your bently around a pole…
+++++10000000000000000! Agreed! F*ck Chael! How in the hell do you even fix your mouth to even ask for another shot at a title in a totally different weight class after you lost BAD to Silva just last month? Must be out of his monkey ass mind! And these fools are just as stupid. I know NONE of these Chael nut-suckers would have given him a shot either if they were in Jones's position!
Wow I still can't believe bones is scared to fight Sonnen.. Sonnen don't deserve a title shot but it wuda been a big draw and bones was just talkin about how he only wants big fights.. you coulda had one with Hendo and now you could have one with Sonnen.. so why not fight him… After all the trash talk between you two and ur scared now?? You knew Sonnen wud get ahold of you and rag doll ur skinny ass… AMERICAN GANGSTER ALL DAY!
I can't blame Jones, sides the fact that the card sucked overall anyways he should not have to face some one who just lost his shot to Silva by getting TKO'd.
This card was maybe going to pull 300k, now the Toronto card sill do around 800 k because lets face it Johnson vs Benavidez was not going to sell well.
EFF all these belt holders. Everybody's ducking evrybody, Dana White, your best bet right now is to book Sonnen vs Nate Diaz. Aint gonna be no ducking in this fight for sure.
Maybe Rashad Evans was right all along…Jones is as fake as you can get….Hoefully he won't be champ for long….
Even if Jones is a "grown ass man," you can't blame him for turning down the fight at the advice of his coach. As a fighter myself (albeit an amateur one) the last thing I would want to do is go into a big fight with the people who are in my corner shaking their heads at my decision to go into battle. Going into a fight with a guy as potentially dangerous as Sonnen without his team's full support would have been the mistake.
I can not believe this ,Why do they give chael sonnen such a hard time this guys fights any body and to fight Anderson Silva he had to fight everyone again he get a call on 8 days notice i will fight this guy lets go ,you think we want jones and machida a reapeat noooo chael vs jones is an exiting fight hendo vs Jones is an exiting fight i can not believe this so disappointing
Wow…first Bones says he doesn't want to fight Machida because it won't be a good money fight for him and then refuses a fight with the greatest fight promoter the UFC has ever seen in order to fight the guy he said wasn't a good money fight for him…whatever, JBJ, I think you've lost whatever credibility you might have had.
I wonder what Mr. Magoo's take is on all this. According to him Jones is the best thing since sliced bread.
I hope all of you see now that Jones doesn't give a rats ass about you.
Its posted above, if you want my professional opinion,,,,,,lol
What in the hell makes you think that Chael even deserves 2 back to back title shots? F*ck that! I'm convinced that Dana and Chael are butt buddies or something. I wouldn't give him a shot either, especially after just losing to Silva A MONTH AGO! Dana should just dig a little deeper and find someone else for Jones to fight.
Its not about deserving a shot.. Dan is the deserving one but he got hurt.. next best thing Dana could do was find a opponent for bones and he did.. bones is screwing the fans and all the other fighters on the card.. F him and his fake ass persona..
Hell yeah it's about deserving a shot and Chael doesn't deserve one. Not right now. Dana OFFERED Chael, but did he ask anyone else at LHW? No. Why? It's not like Chael raised his hand and was like OH OH I'll do it. When Dana asked Machida and Machida said no, he should have went to the next LHW in line.
yes he did, he clearly stated that only one person wanted to step up at short notice (meaning he put it out there)
and of course it was chael, chael wants to chase the dream before its too late
Why has there been NO CHANGES on UFC.com?? They have no mention in their news section and are still advertising the event AND pre-order to watch it online. Also, how the bloody HELL did Dan do such major damage the WEEK of the biggest fight of his career?!?!! How come their trainers and coaches allow them to train that hard?? FUCKING STUPID!
Who's the Boss here and gives the final say, I thought it was Dana White. Obviously its Bones. What a chump, Sonnen you the man, stepping up for your boy Hendo an willing to take care of his light work a True GANGSTER ! Bones dont be SCARED HOMMIE !
all the idiots calling Jones a bitch and a puss for turning this fight down are idiots. This isnt some undercard fight between two up and comers, this is the main event and a world title fight.
Usually Im not a Dana hater, but he announced that part just to be inflammatory and to make his champ look bad, real douchebag move'
Ok, for people not in jones position you seem to know everything about it. Sonnen is a goid fighter but why should ge be rewarded . Sonnen is now a hero? Id question if hes even clean right now. The event sucked besides the main card and stikl loooked to lack ppv quality. Ufc needs to chill out on 3 events per month. It is watered down.
on the other article, bones said he fights for the money. strange not to take this fight, considering chael will even give jones his fight purse.
Chael Sonnen is a bitch. What does jon jones get out of beating him? nothing. How the hell is chael considered anywhere near a contender at LH? He may be exciting in the build up, hype bullshit, but in the cage he is one of the most boring fighters i've ever seen. I wouldn't fight him either if i was jones.
how was brock lesnar anywhere near a contender at HW. MONEY! and brock was a champion and defended it
Wow! Isn't this exactly how jones got his shot? He just screwed every other fighter on the card out of a paycheck
He got his shot coming off a WIN and not 8 days notice.
How is this jbjs fault? Its dana white that made this shit card to begin with. We've seen many times in the past where the co main event became the main event why should this be any different? Oh yea cause the ME and the rest of the card sucks!
the only sport killer is the greedy ass baldy. He loved bones for saving his ass with all those main events he stepped up for him in only 8 months.. But now he's mad cause he wants bones to fight who he says to fight just so he doesn't lose money. You would never see boxing try to change a main event in 8 days. It's a ppv card there should be no excuse for a co-main event not to be worthy of a main event..
How bout chael EARN his title shot first by fighting someone like shogun. Then bones can face machida and the 2 winners face each other.
I really don't want to see JBJ fight any of these guys. He is at such a higher level of skill than Hendo and Sonnen. Having said that, he should have taken Sonnen, KO'd him in the 1st and moved to HW
Higher level of skill?He is a freak of an athlete, who Is long, has a huge reach, but higher skill? Where, wrestling? His awkward striking? Hendo has one pinch ko power, JJ doesn't, I would give the edge to Jones as an athlete, with reach, and youth, but skill over a veteran , and Olympic wrestler like Hendo, no way .
why not keep the event & bring michael bisping vs brian stann a few week early as a 5 round main event?
This article doesn't even report how everything went in the conference.. They were trying to get ahold of Machida before Sonnen but he was in the air going to Brazil.. Which then decided to call Sonnen who accepted the fight! Jones turned down the fight because good old Jackson said "It would be the biggest mistake of his career and not to take the fight" so Jones didn't take the fight.. Which then they finally got ahold of Machida and told him September 22nd in Toronto!
And also said "He wouldnt fight Sonnen on 8 days notice" but why not sonnen and henderson are going to try to do the same thing.. Accept u dont have to worry about a huge right hand! Also I thought Jones was all about the money, this would have been bigger than the henderson fight! Sonnen could promote this fight in 1 day to make it bigger.. Jones says one thing and then does another! Lost all respect for him now and actually gained more for Sonnen!
Wow. I guess the rest of the fighters on this card (especially the undercard) aren't going to be eating this month. Fck you Jones, eat a dick!
Chael may not be the #1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 contender at 205, but there was no one else avalible on the short notice willing to step up and fight JBJ in orfer to make the card survive, so much respect to Chael. Not his biggest fan, but he earned some love from this. Lost a lot of respect for JBJ. Just a selfish and scared fighter. The whole card is canceled because he can't find the string on his tampon? All the other fighters busting their a**es trying to make a living…and now they have to suffer because Jones is a pu**y? JBJ is the CHAMP! Now…if only he fought like it. He is such a pretender.
Chael sonnen isn't even qualified to carry Jon jones' jock strap.
Why on earth would anyone expect bones to fight this chump, when he has machida (a legitimate competitor) waiting for a shot?
Might as well throw Justin Beiber in there…he'd have just as good a shot at beating jones as sonnen does.
Really, it amazes me that there are people stupid enough to think he's ducking sonnen. That would be an easier payday than Henderson was. At least now he'll have a legit threat in Lyoto and make his traing camp worthwhile.
Why has there been NO CHANGES on UFC.com?? I am suspect about this. They have no mention in their news section and are still advertising the event AND pre-order to watch it online. Also, how the bloody HELL did Dan do such major damage the WEEK of the biggest fight of his career?!?!! How come their trainers and coaches allow them to train that hard?? FUCKING STUPID! Feed him Gustafson or Phil Davis. Hell Davis is in shape and NOT hurt. Sure, Davis may not be top 5 but at least he HAS FOUGHT at LHW! It would just be for S&G but at least they would be fighters that have DONE something in the LHW division!
So disgusted with Jone Jones. And Greg Jackson has shown that he is the mastermind behind GSP's butt humping, Guida's crackfiend foot movement (whatever the hell you call it) and Condit's curtailing.
I can't understand why Dana doesn't work something out with the venue and see if he can postpone the venue for another date and change the main event. This also happens in boxing and they're able to avoid big major losses, then again they also take last minute fights.
Dana White is a dick! At the end of the day there were no real light heavyweights available to step up? That just shows how weak his division and the planned event is and because it makes Dana look bad he deflects that onto Bones. Bones said he didn't want to fight Machida but he hasn't ducked that fight, fact is Sonnen is just talking his way to a fight he deserves as much as I do! Now if Bones ducked a real light heavy weight like Gustaffson I'd agree with some people on here – fact is Dana is to blame not bones
What are you talking about? Know the whole story before accusing Dana for being a dick on this one.. Dana called several fighters and the only one who accepted in time or got ahold of was Chael Sonnen.. Jones being P4P in the world, turned down a fight against a MW! He turned down a fight, cost the company who made him what he is right now alot of money, and everyone else on the card now cant get paid.. But i thought Jones was all about providing for his family? What about others in company that he works for? Some of these guys will be luck to walk out with 5k in there pocket, now they get ZERO!
Is it just me, or do the few people defending Jones sound like uneducated, unintelligible negros? Must be because only that sort would condone what amounts to sheer cowardice. If you fight, you fight. I have fought, as have lots of my friends. Sometimes the call comes at the last minute to step up, and you step the fuck up.
I have seen my bros step up to fight out of their weightclass on less than a weeks notice, for money, honor, or just for fun. To duck a guy like Sonnen, who is willing to fight with no camp whatsoever, is classless. He would have had to spend the next 8 days cutting weight and resting, and probably would have been walked right through. But he was willing, cause Chael has heart. Jones is just another professional black athlete, trying to figure out a way to never hold a job outside of sports again. Weak, Jones. You are forever a bitch.
wow racist much. look i understand your upset about the fight not happening but this is definitely not a bitch move on JJ's part. 8 days is no time at all and before you say he got his shot that way it was a month and a half prior to the fight. Yes i am pissed that the fight is not going to happen but clearly you should rethink your statement along with most of the other people posting how much a bitch jones is. Also this mostly falls on the training camp of Hendo why he is inlvoved in such training that could cause that type of injury this close to the fight is beyond me, and why is it that the rest of this card was so lackluster. UFC back in the day had an entire fight card to keep your attention. Maybe Dana should have done more prudent planning so if something like this happens that the show could still go on.
Jon Jones BEAT someone to get that short notice title shot. Shogun had months to get ready. Chael just LOST AGAIN to Silva, so he runs his mouth and gets a title shot? Fuck Chael, not worth Bones' time.
To even think about giving sonnen a title match at LWH so soon is ridiculous. Dana and Sonnen got something gay goin on, real gay.
Has anyone noticed how Chael has been verbally ripping into Jones in the last few weeks or so? This was planned! I smell conspiracy! What if Hendo has been injured for a while now and Chael was asked by Dana to pick a fight and ease his way into UFC 151? The same way that the UFC asked Josh Koshcheck to stir up something with BJ Penn?
Wow, I understand that Chael hasn't done much, but turning that fight down basically contradicts ol' Bones stance on only fighting for money/purse.
I know this is messed up to say, but I wonder if Nike will drop their sponsorship on him later??!! I just saw this funny tweet: "How to duck @sonnench …. #BonesKnows"!! LMao
Jon Jones is scared of gangsters
a champ should accept a challenge from anybody in the top 5 and not outside of it…sorry chael your a middleweight and havent recorded a win in LHW in a long time but its a fight people would buy…yet jones and many others along with myself in some degree believe chael is a cheater…16:1 ratio of testeserone for anderon 1 is a fucking joke
a champ should accept a challenge from anybody in the top 5 and not outside of it…sorry chael your a middleweight and havent recorded a win in LHW in a long time but its a fight people would buy…yet jones and many others along with myself in some degree believe chael is a cheater…16:1 ratio of testeserone for anderon 1 is a fucking joke
Jones is a bitch? Wow… he's only beaten like 5 former champs in a row now, easily. He may have lost one whole round in the UFC. Yeah, he's a bitch because he won't fight someone who keeps talking his way to title shots and could barely beat Bispbing. He ruined it for the fans? That card was gonna suck ass except for the Jones fight… The only reason I would pay for that card is because of Jones/Henderson. So all you dumbasses still wanna shell out 55 bucks to see Jones/Sonnen? Really? Fuck that save your money for September to see someone who at least has a chance fight Jones. Jones won't duck Sonnen if he actually beats some people and earns a shot first. But he hasn't, and can't, and won't. He can't beat anyone in the top 6 or 7 at 205. Not a chance. So fuck his title shot… I'm glad they canceled that weak ass card.
And no, I am not unintelligent or negro. How much money would you pay to see the Lakers play a high school team? The same as you would pay to watch a Lakers/Heat finals game? Hell no, of course not. Nobody would. Would the highschool team "have heart" just because they say they want to play the Lakers? I guess, but who cares? Stop acting like Sonnen is some badass because he is trying to stay relevant after getting handled by Silva. If the UFC was gonna charge 19.95 for this card, then fine… I'd still prob buy that. But why would I want a terrible, uninteresting, garbage main event for the same price as the original one? Guess what, I don't. And neither should any of you if you are real UFC fans. Jones is not a bitch because he doesn't want to fight in a lose-lose situation. And he is thinking about the fans… he's trying to save yall money.
You are right, Chael probably doesn't deserve a title fight. He is a great talker and probably would of lost to Jones BUT Jones should have taken the fight. This just screams I am too AFRAID TO FIGHT SONNEN. END OF STORY.
Jackson an jones are together a fucking cancer to mma! Fight sonnen you scared little bitch!! Guaranteed jones vs sonnen brings more money than jones vs machida. Will not buy thus one…streaming
That fucking sucks man I was looking foward to this fight.respect to chael man he wanted to take the fight,I got the ump most respect for chael he's a fucking warrior and a true fighter,can't say the same for jones tho,ur supposed to be the champ and u turned down a fight,I know I know ur Nike deal ur sponsors ur money ur reputation,u weren't training for chael and 8 days is not enough to switch ur training camp…blah blah blah…ur not a real fucking fighter.if u had true fighter mentality u would fight anybody,anytime,anywhere…..no excuses.
Wow. I'm a Jones fan, and I just lost almost all my respect for him. I'm a Chael hater, but I have nothing but respect for him after this. If you had told me yesterday I'd feel this way today, I'd have laughed in your face.
maybe jon jones broke a ball in training or maybe he tore his egg sack?… right guys…
What a lame response from Jones in a desperate situation. He should have taken that fight. Very selfish!! No loyalty to the fans who bought all those tickets, as well as the organization. He going to lose fans fast!
People on here are ridiculous. Sonnen doesn't deserve to fight for a title. He hasn't fought In tr weight class, jones at least fought and won to earn his shot. And people don't understand that you don't understand, they most likely would he went to Vegas tomorrow and started the press stuff for the fight. Of course Sonnen would take the fight, he has nothing to lose, and he just moved up weight class and he gets a shot. Who wouldn't have taken the fight. Everyone hating on jones for turning down the fight you are just stupid, he wants to fight people who deserve a shot, who are big names in the lightheavy weight division not someone who hasn't earned anything. I don't blame him for saying no.
Read between the lines they looked for someone and the only one to step up was Sonnen! You say "who wouldn't step up!" no one else did. And regardless of all things said Jones just killed fight purses for a shit load of dudes on the undercard who might not get a reschedule anytime soon. So JBJ can suck a big one, freakin douche!
Jbj can suck elephant cock,he's the biggest pussy in the history of the sport.
Don't understand this at all. Jon Jones is paid to fight. You refuse you should be suspended fired stripped of title, SOMETHING! Shit I miss fighting! I'd fight on a day notice if I'd be asked to. I mean it would be my job my obligation. Hell I'd fight for what I make now in a year which is so far less than what they make for one fight. Damn I'd honestly fight for free if I could hav one chance in the UFC. I mean that!
So you think Condit shout be stripped of his interim title for waiting until freakin November to fight GSP? Instead of allowing a deserving fighter challenge him for it right now?
maybe jones broke a ball in training or tore his egg sack…
I see dejavu again, it's ufc 140 all over again. I don't think Machida is going to be prepared enough for this fight.
I agree. Machida is the one who keeps getting screwed. He had a short notice the first time, and now he has another short notice, but this time he has 30 days to get his camp together and organize a fight plan and prepare for the fight. According to Dana Lyoto was on the plane to Brazil earlier today.
Wow I can't believe Dana White and Zuffa allow this to happen. I watch every UFC paper view fight an I cant believe Dana allows a fighter to make up the rules. If i recall is'nt it the second time that John Jones refuses to fight somebody, Fire his ass. Let him go fight somewhere else, who the hell does he think he is. He does'nt deserve to fight for Zuffa(UFC). Dana talk to your fighters , put them in line. Your losing alot of money. Not good for the sport and defintely not good for business. Fights like this could affect your reputation in the mixed martial fight world. This is starting to smell like WWF or a DON KING promotion. WTF
jon jones is the man i would give chael sonnen a chance either he is a loud mouth bitch
I can understand Jon Jones not wanting to fight chael Sonnen. he has not earned the shot yet in the 205 division. Chael also could possibly be a problem if he is able to take home down, but this is a chael on 8 days. There is no strength training or sparing with Huge fighter to try and emulate Jones. Jon johns is just a pussy and a little bitch because he feels he is the greatest and can't even fight a Chael Sonnen with no camp.
Oh and to those that say chael Sonnen got destroyed by Silva he won the 1st and the fight would have kept things going if silva didn't grab fence and shorts…. Not making excuses just saying what happened…
whats going to happen to ufc 152 now, hes fucked it all up!!
No he actually sold the event because he will be the main event then featherweight title is on the line, then Bisping vs Stann which is a pretty decent card.
I must say, mr jones possibly just lost all his fans.
I can't wait for what Sonnen has to say now, he'd already started stokin the fire. This will prolly set things ablaze.
Wow ! What a pussy jon jones has turned out to be! How is it that Chael Sonnen will fight at a moments notice , But the Champ refuses??? Granted Jones was training for Hendo , …………BUT Chael has just been training for no one in particular. Lost ALL respect for Jones ! and oh yeah ! FUCK GREG JACKSON TOO!!!
You guys saying jones is this or that are crazy. you all are eating up the chael train of hype. look at the record. chael is living off his mouth right now. i have seen so many say that bjpenn.com should stop posting stuff abou tlesnar are the ones eating the chael hype.
i dont like jones at all but i think he has it right. chael doesnt deserve to b in the octagon with him. chael is a mouth and nothing more. please tell me i wouldnt say it to his face. drop your email on here and i will send video of 6 years ago in texas when i knocked him stupid while we were sparring. he is nothing.
dana white is pushing him because he sells, not his skill set. he didnt beat bisping adn if it werent for a referee he would have been killed both times he fought silva.
How those ducks doing Jon Boy?
Some champ you are, ducking challengers. Guess that's what you learned from your pals GSP and Anderson.
Seriously, tired of these "champions" who won't fight all-comers. You're no champ in my eyes unless you defend your belt whenever challenged. Only true champion in the UFC right now as I see it is JDS. The rest are just primadonnas.
What about Aldo?
I think Jones has finally became the guy he always was or wanted to be and was always trying to hide it.. He first said he wanted to be a role model, then crashes his car while drunk.. He then said he fought for the love of the sport and then just came out saying he does it for the money.. He always talking about respect and morals but when the company that made him needed him to do one thing for them, he turns them down! All those people who were always saying he was fake, really did see through the BS!
Well now we can talk our way to a title fight? ..wow…Dana should tell people to just get on twitter and they are the next in line lol…You want a title shot earn it thank you !!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!! I hope Machidas beats JBJ ass!!!!! This Fkcued other fighters out of a pay day!!! Other fighters that probably needed that pay day!!! Not all of them can drink and drive and get a NIKE contract. Fcuck JBJ!!!!!!!!
Of course Chael would take the fight…he needs the money after his money laundering fine and lack of work last year. I would take the fight too for championship fight money. He obviously doesn't mind getting TKO'd and his grabbing and L&P style might get him a decision for the title. There are a lot of people in this world willing to lay down on their backs and get paid for it…but that doesn't make me respect them.
Get some facts before you talk as if you know what you're talking about.. otherwise someone like me will come by and make you look like a total asshat…
Chael reportedly got around $4.5 million for UFC 148
Chael was only fined $10,000 for his laundering conviction and paid $69,000 to plaintiff.
Now do I have to do 4.5 million minus 79,000 for you also? Or do you know how to operate a calculator?
Looks like we got another "UFC champion" who DUCKS challengers.. guess Jones finally got to the point where he thinks he can pick and choose his fights from here on out. What a joke. He's learning fast from his pals GSP and Anderson.
I'm sorry but a champion, to me, is one who accepts any and all who challenge his belt (and are worthy.. not saying he has to accept from randoms with 1 fight under their belt.)
The champs in the UFC are a joke, the only one worthy of the title is JDS because he does not shy away from fights, and will take the harder challenger any day.
I can't blame Dana at all for being upset about this. Jones vs Sonnen would have probably been a top 10 seller card… and Jones turned it down because he doesn't like his chances.. lmfao. This guy is so cocky too, thinking he is the best. I guess he's been taking notes from Mayweather.
Dana should put a clause in all fighters contracts that states a champion must accept any challenge put in front of him by Joe Silva, or vacate the belt. I bet we'd see a lot more fights that FANS WANT TO SEE happening. Getting tired of these guys who become professional fighters and do everything possible to avoid fights they don't think they can win with 100% certainty.
Regardless of whether Sonnen deserves the shot or not. Jones acted like the biggest brat here.what about all the fighters on the undercard that have spent their cash and trained for the last 8 weeks.they now out of a fight and don't get paid. What about all the fans that spent money on ticketsand airfares and hotel accomodation. Jones pretty much just said 'F U' to all the fans and other fighters. Screw this guy. I hope machida takes his head off
I gotta give it to Chael,atleast he aint scared and takes risk,Jon Jones is just losing respect day by day and now I really hope he gets his ass kicked by anybody,big ass LHW acting like hes 4ft tall,what a bitch,all my favorite fighters wouldve fought anybody and wouldve never let anything get cancelled,bitch move.shit let BJ or Diaz fight Chael I bet they would do it with or with the belt.Nike my ass Reeboks 4life now bitch lol.
I think Jones is a fucking asshole either way, I dont give a flying frenchmen's fuck if Chael deserves the shot or not. Jones being champion should be willing to fight anyone, anytime, PROVING he is the best. Perfect example, Chuck Liddell: "you think you're the toughest guy? Let's go." Fuck Jones. I will pray to the motherfucking god of war that Bones vs Hendo will happen before Dan calls it quits so he can knock Jones arrogans down his throat.
Jones is fag for turning down a fight against the Chaelmonster!
Didnt Jon Jones just tell Chael Sonnen to disrespect him to his face? Well he just signed up to do it and Jones bitched out. Sonnens balls > Jones VA-J-J
what kind of bullshit is this?!
Jones is a pussy.
Most upset that Eddie Yagin won't get to fight. Dude throws heat.
I normally try not to root too much for one fighter or another and I like Jones for his talent but I really hope Machida beats him in September… he needs an attitude adjustment and to learn some humility. I appreciate he's not always had it easy and he's worked really hard to get here, but if he intends to keep progressing and getting fights and especially if he moves to HW he'll be up against fighters who are also very talented but still hungry. Can't imagine Cain or JDS turning down a fight that way
WOW!! what happened to all this so called "fighters" in boxing and MMA picking who you want to fight and giving us lame excuses if it is your night to fight go out and fight and prove that you are a true champion i miss the days of chuck, randy, muhamed ali and smoking joe frazier its unbelivable without your fans you are a NOBODY bones get it right bro if we dont buy your fights you dont make money its that simple
I have a few things to say on this one. I understand for people who think Gameplanning is a good idea, and saying JJ doesn't have time to game plan. But shouldn't a fighter be ready to fight anyone. Train to be the best fighter you can be, not to be a polar opposite of someone you're fighting. As people have seen, gameplanning just makes for boring, indecisive fights most of the time. And what's to change in his plan? Hendo is a wrestler and a boxer….Chael is a wrestler and a boxer, Chael's just a smaller version. Hell, give him the fight as an exhibition and don't let him compete for the title. Chael already said he'd give up his purse. You've also been in training camp for months, getting into shape for a wrestler. Guy isn't gonna be near your size, and probably wouldn't be able to MAKE weight, other than in a very unhealthy way. And if he doesn't make weight, he probably wouldn't be given a shot at taking the Title anyway. Take a lesson from a lot of the guys here; Don't talk shit from your keyboard, then duck back when shit hit's the fan.
I understand that fighters plan a strategy and train specifically for their opponent. However, in combat sports you train hard, and injuries can and do happen all the time. Getting injured training is obviously not what a fighter wants, especially days before their match, resulting in them withdrawing, but shite happens. This is why replacement fighters step up. Sonnen stepped up and pros to him. So what that he wants a title shot, who doesn't. So what that he hasn't fought in LHW in along time, no one else was available for the call, and the call had to be made. Fact is, Sonnen, albeit a smaller fighter is still a good fighter. You don't get two shots at The Spider if you are a chump. The chump(s) here are JBJ, Jackson and Dana, for having such a weak card. I feel for all the fans and the undercard fighters who will not get paid, and worked hard for this event.
Let me get this straight, people are mad at jones because they want him to fight someone that is a totally diffrent fighter then what he trained for, and someone who doesn't deserve a title shot get a chance just because he is buddy buddy with the owner? Then for those mad because they dont get to eat this month, perhaps should go after dana white for their money he signed the contracts
Jon jones you pussy! I love the conference call with Dana calling Jackson a weirdo and then saying no one should interview Hahaha it was gold
Sonnen would of submitted him with a flying triangle and flipped off machida on the way down! Too bad we will never get to see it… I think cyborg has jones penis I'n between her legs! And jones has cyborgs elongated clit between his! F jj!
Tell jones too fight or strip him of his title, if he was a true champ he would fight anyone
Dana, you messed up. You're smarter than this…you should have had a backup plan going into this. I expected Jones to fake an injury…not for Hendo to actually get an injury. UFC fans would have watched UFC 151 without a main event…especially on Labor Day weekend. Fighter prepare hard for these events…fan wait for them…put it on without that loser Jones. Your second mistake was booking him again so quickly…I know you promised Machida a shot, but I would have let Jones sit on the back burner…let him simmer…let him get lazy…let him stew on is his mistake…instead you set him up right away against a guy that most likely won't beat him…I would have told him his next fight was Sonnen…it can be in 8 days or it can be whenever you're ready to man-up and quit being a freaking pussy. Let Sonnen give his purse to Machida for stepping aside and forcing Jones to face the challenge he can't beat. If Sonnen trains for Jones he will DESTROY Jones. Jones…your UFC stock just plummeted…you have no idea how badly your screwed up. Dana…you screwed up too…you're getting soft. You ban fighters…then you let them back in…then you handle this matter all wrong…you've become the boy who cried wolf and your word means very little…your threats are pointless and carry no weight. I think you need to look back at how you ran this organization years ago…go back to that successful formula or step aside.
HELL YEAH. well said
I hate how all YOU Sonnen nut huggers and Bones haters are bashing Jon for turning down this fight.
Think about it like this, they get paid to fight, they get paid to win, what besides a purse would Jon Jones have to win??? If he beat Chael he should have beaten him. No one would have cared, they would say "OHH CHAEL ONLY HAD 8 DAYS, IF HE HAD MORE TIME HE WOULD HAVE DESTROYED JONES" All you haters know that is what you would have said. Now lets look at the facts
1. Chael has NOT fought at 205, so he has NO victories and he is NOT even ranked. (Look at the Silva -V- Belfort fight) After the other recent fight where a good ranked fighter moved to a weight class WITHOUT any prior fights steps right in to a championship fight the champ got NO credit for the win.
2. Bones HAS stepped up MANY times in the past to help the UFC. His turn to say "NO."
3. We all say that Dana is a dick so it is about dang time someone showed him how it is and put his @ss in check.
You might not agree with my opinion or with Bones or you might, this for me is not open for debate. You can think what you want and I will think the way I want. I do not blame Jones for saying no, but I do think he should have taken the fight, because we all know that in 1 or 2 fights he WILL be fighting him anyway. If Jones had taken the fight and destroyed Sonnen it might have been an awakening for Sonnen after all loosing back to back fights to champions in a decisive fashion would show that he no longer deserves a shot and he is no more/better than a gate keeper.
Wow. It's a huge advantage for Jones, saves the event, and proves he's a champion. No champ has ever turned down a fight. Imo, he's scared homies. Think about it, if he lost to a non-contender, it would be devastating for him. He fears for his 'legacy'. Being the premadonna that he's become, he won't have that. What a shame for the sport to have such a pu$$y as a LHW champ in the biggest MMA stage. Shame on James and his camp. I can see some of the jackson fighters shaking their heads on his and greg's decision.
Maybe the UFC should implement a rule that a champion who refuses to fight an assigned opponent, replacement or not, would forfeit his title. He'd have to be medically unfit to get out of a fight.
hahaha jones doesnt want to fight chael because he cant study him for 2 months straight. Ofc he would beat down chael, but sonnen knows he has the element of surprise, and he has probably been studying a few weeks after he lost to anderson silva. So peeved atm, really wanted to see hendo fight jon jones
iheart man love from Greg Jackson !
Seriously, guys Sonnen doesn't deserve a shot. He pummeled Anderson Silva for the best part of 7 rounds. I admit that Anderson won, that he is a true champ because he found a way to win those fights. At the same time, Chael is his own worst enemies and he gave Anderson the opportunity to win, Chael beat himself.
That Jones says he won't fight Sonnen is not the sign of a champ, but one of a fucking pussy! Jones has every advantage going for him, except that the fact that he has no balls. Sonnen is dangerous to whoever he fights.
Jones says he doesn't want to fight Machida, I know why. He knows that Machida has the tools to kick Jones ass. I hope that Machida kicks Jones ass.
At first I enjoyed watching Jones, but lately, he has become a paper Champion. I worked as a bouncer in a bar. At 5 feet 9 inches and 185 pounds I was a small bouncer. I didn't get to pick my opponents or their weight class, but I was and still am game to fight anyone anywhere. Hell if you got the balls John jones give me a call, I think I can kick your ass and I am 49 years old. Jones needs to learn what it means to be a "MARTIAL" artists and what it means to be a "MAN".
Pussy, pussy, pussy!!!!!!!
You guys are a bunch of morons Jones signed on to fight Hendo not big mouth Chael. He has nothing to gain by fighting him on short notice, let Chael climb up the ranks and EARN a title shot not just get one cuz he has a big mouth. For real you Chael lovers need to get his Dick out of your mouths…

Misc Streams - North Carolina Side of Park:
Fly Fishing the Great Smoky Mountains National Par
Cooper Creek:
Cooper Creek is a small out of the way stream that normally offers good rainbow
trout fishing. It can be accessed from Cooper Creek Road which intersects U. S.
Hwy.19 about 5 miles southwest of Cherokee, North Carolina. The Cooper Creek
Trail follows the stream for about 2 miles from the dead end of Cooper Creek
Road. You can continue upstream on an unimproved trail.
Chambers Creek:
Chambers Creek is another small stream that offers good fishing for rainbow trout
in its lower section and brook trout in its headwaters. To access it you would need
to cross Fontana Lake. The stream forks into the North and West Forks about
three-quarters of a mile upstream.
Bunches Creek:
Bunches Creek is located near Cherokee, North Carolina. It enters the Raven Fork
outside of the Park but the uppermost part of the stream can be accessed easier
from the Balsam Mountain Road off the Blue Ridge Parkway.
It contains a good population of brook trout but like many brook trout streams, it is
not easy to access.
Copyright 2007 James Marsh
Bunches Creek has plenty of
small brook trout. It is easy to
drive right past this stream.
This one is probably the
average size brook for the park.
Small streams
almost always
have rainbows. You can get
away from the crowds and
enjoy the scenery of the
Smokies fishing the numerous
small streams that are just
small blue lines on a map.

(Update: Uh, as my man Dave Jasper points out in the comments, this show is on May 27. Don't know how we neglected that important little fact, but there you go.)
Word just came in from the Les Schwab Amphitheater: The first show of the venue's 2011 concert season will feature Death Cab for Cutie as a headliner, with Bright Eyes and the duo of Jenny and Johnny as openers.
A special "locals' deal" ticket pre-sale will happen this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at The Ticket Mill in the Old Mill District, where 300 tickets will be sold for $35 plus a flat $3 service fee. You must pay cash to get the locals' deal.
Tickets will also go on sale Friday for $35 plus fees (not sure how much, but more than $3) at the amphitheater's website at www.bendconcerts.com. Those tickets will be available through Feb. 24, and tickets will go on sale to the general public though Ticketfly on Feb. 25.
Both Death Cab for Cutie and Bright Eyes are darlings of the indie-rock set, though at different levels: Death Cab are mega-stars now on a major label and appearing on "Twilight" soundtracks, whereas Bright Eyes principal Conor Oberst ditched the moniker in 2007 (just after his highest charting album ever) and started playing with the Mystic Valley Band. (A new Bright Eyes album, "The People's Key," comes out tomorrow.)
Both artists played Bend in 2008, Death Cab at Les Schwab Amphitheater and Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band at the Domino Room.
Jenny and Johnny is Jenny Lewis (of Rilo Kiley and solo fame) and Johnathan Rice, a Scottish singer-songwriter. I know little about them, except that my friend Dave says they're great.
Of course, you can expect to read more about all these artists on Frequency and in GO! Magazine in the coming months.

Discover how to use Adobe Photoshop, without any added fine art skills, to modify artwork and turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

So, right now it looks like an extremely clear day on our little moon out in space. So we are going to go in there, and start adding some atmospheric effects. First thing I'm going to do is I want to tone down some of the saturation on those buildings. So, I'm going to go to the layer that has buildings right there, and I'm going to go into Hue/Saturation, and just bring down the saturation a bit, just a tad, just so it starts to take away some of those strong blues that we're seeing there, just like that. That's looking good.
And these buildings back here, I'm going to select those buildings, and I'm going to blur them. I'm going to go in there and just give them a little blur because they are further away. So maybe not that much just a little bit just so that they are a little further away so they start to get a little more blurry. Click OK. Now that we have this, I'm going to go in here, and create a layer on top of the entire scene, and I'm going to pick a color. Let's just pick this color right from here or maybe the color from the planet back there. It's nice, kind of orangey color, and then we'll go in there and in that same range, we'll just pick a slightly lighter version of it right there.
I'm going to throw in a gradient. I'm going to make it a gradient that's going from foreground to transparent. I'm going to throw in a gradient right across, like so, just like this, and maybe make it a little longer like that. There we go. I'm going to bring down the opacity for it just to add a little extra atmosphere to our area here, just like that. Now, we're going to go in there and add some mist. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a new layer, let's pull back a little bit.
I'm going to create a layer right on top of this one, right here. I'm going to go in, and let's just return this to black and white, and I'm going to give it a filter. There's a filter called Render > Clouds. That creates clouds like that. So now, I'm going to undo that. This time, I'm going to hold down my Option key and say Render > Clouds. And you'll notice that there's more contrast now. There's more contrast, the darks are darker, and the lights are lighter.
So, it kind of changed the way that filter was working. So now, let's get back to a full screen here, so we could what effects are going to be. I'm going to change the mode of that to Screen so that only the whites are showing through. I'm going to bring down the opacity a bit, quite a bit, so it's just this little mist like that. I'm going to go in there, and I'm going to kind of scrunch it down, bring it down so it's closer to the ground level so that my little mist is down here along the ground, like that.
Then I'm going to give that layer a mask. And using black and a soft edge brush, I'm going to bring the opacity back up to about an 80. I'm going to start to draw in right along the top here, very loosely painting black so that it's going to start to lessen my mists, and kind of confine it down to the lower parts of my planet, closer to the ground like a low fog. There we see that now we have this moon surrounding a planet way out in space and the rest of the story is something you can make up.

Victims of abuse often feel isolated and discouraged. For the families of military service members, this isolation is more intense because they often live far from extended family and friends. Fortunately, the military has programs and resources to help victims of domestic abuse and child abuse. The Transitional Compensation Program helps alleviate the financial hardship family members face when they decide to leave an abusive relationship. The following information will help you understand transitional compensation benefits.
Your installation's Family Advocacy Program or legal assistance office can help you apply for transitional compensation, which begins once an application has been approved. Transitional compensation is available to spouses and children of service members who have been separated or sentenced to a forfeiture of all pay and allowances due to domestic abuse. To be eligible, you must have been living in the home of and married to the service member.
In addition, the service member must have been convicted of a dependent-abuse offense and at least one of the following must apply:
A dependent-abuse offense must be listed as a reason for the separation or forfeiture, although it does not have to be the primary reason. However, it is very difficult to add dependent abuse as a reason for separation after the service member has left the military.
You will become ineligible for compensation and benefits if you remarry or move back in with the former service member while receiving benefits. If compensation is available for more than 12 months, you will be required to recertify your eligibility for transitional compensation annually.
These transitional compensation benefits and limitations apply to all recipients:
Transitional compensation is just one of the resources available to you as a victim of domestic abuse.
Your installation's Family Advocacy Program is another great source of support, with victim advocates who can:
Remember that as a victim of domestic or child abuse you are not alone. There are resources available to provide information and help you make the best decisions for you and your family.
