Hello Blog O'Doomers. I always enjoy a fight that Chael Sonnen loses. It was especially funny because Chael was deep into his antics as Jones is patiently doing his thing...stretching, praying, kissing his family and then he walks in the octagon and beats his ass. That's what I want out of my top fighters, no frills, no time for your games, just wait until the bell and I'll break my toe while kicking your ass.
I'm sure Dana White the huckster promoter was hoping Sonnen survived the last 30 seconds for the controversy of gifting his biggest loudmouth a title he didn't deserve, but Dana White the guy that works hard to promote UFC as more legit than boxing is happy things finished the way they did because it was clear from the first take down that Jones v. Sonnen was an epic mismatch.
That being said I'm shocked Vince hasn't tried to talk to Sonnen already. He seems to envision himself as a sports entertainer. I mean sure his shtick is mostly regurgitated from the past but I think he has the chops to make it in professional wrestling. Hell I would have tried to sign Rampage Jackson as soon as he was done with the UFC. It's a fairly low-risk signing. If guys like that don't work in the ring they can still have roles and both guys have the charisma to cut a promo, even the crappy ones the writers give them. Sure the rest of the locker might be a little jealous at these guys making good money without paying their dues but who's going to fuck with them?
Anyway moving on, does anyone think we're headed to Cena vs. Brock for Summerslam? And if we aren't why not? If there was ever a time to make Brock earn the money it's in the next 8-9 months. Brock holding the strap post Summerslam could be the sort of boost the company needs to take it through the rest of 2013 and into 2014. Yea? Nay?
This is long enough as it is so I say enjoy the show and come out swinging but keep it clean.
