Chael Sonnen needs to get rid of Jones Bones. Henderson on Fox next week, damn I feel spoiled.

A lot of the guys that hate GSP and wrestling are probably crying now as once again it was proven to be the biggest element to an all around mma game. No matter what Gastelum barely won. I say it was a draw other than miniscule differences in the judges point scoring.

I dont think Chael has what it takes to beat jones. He might be able to put him on his back, but Chaels ground and pound has always been weak and he rarely goes for submissions. If he had a stronger offensive ground game, Chael really could be a much more effective fighter. He just brings pressure and the ability to smother opponents and ware them out. Jones' skill set is too wide, he beats chael standing, in the clinch and if he gains top position his elbows are devastating. I see that ending in an easy tko or submission victory for Jon.

I cannot say I disagree with your assessment. Bones is a lot younger and in his prime at an earlier age than most. I still feel Sonnen gets fights more often due to his personality and popularuity resulting from this. His willingness to fight any time and make everything leading up to the event entertaining. Dana sets up many matches based on entertainment value, and better resulting profit rather than just giving anyone a chance. Hence, why I think he is having women coach the next ultimate fighter. He is in dire need of gaining more support for the women so it makes since.

As far as I know, Bones does not have many guys that up to his level so Chael is a good choice and the obvious loud mouth, funny underdog. If Bones wins I hope they put him up against Anderson Silva.
