In light of the recent mess that was the cancelation of UFC 151, we still have yet to see the end of the aftermath. Not too many people came out of this looking great, except maybe Chael Sonnen, the unlikely "hero" in this story. Some people have come out of this cast in very deprecatory ways, few more than UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. In a recent article from The Wrestling Observer (Subscription required), there's yet another piece of information that will add fuel to the Jon Jones fire:

Jones was very upset after Chael began calling him out and mocking him on Twitter, going as far as to contact White and ask him to tell Chael to stop.

Even if you're an avid Jones supporter, it's hard to cast this in a positive light. Sure, it may not always be fun to be the butt of ten thousand Chael Sonnen jokes, but that's not something you can just ask Dana White to stop. It just seems childish for a professional athlete to respond so oddly to a little bit of heat from a possible competitor.

Also from the article, we see more of Jones, as his recent appearance on a radio show is analyzed, and what Jon said makes him look like a hypocrite:

About a week before this all went down, he went on a radio show and talked about how Chael was undeserving of the fight coming off the loss to Anderson Silva, and that he was disrespectful and not the type of person he'd want to give a title shot to anyway. The host noted that Chael wouldn't be able to take Bones down, and unlike Henderson, also a wrestler, he didn't possess the power punch standing and wasn't a finisher. The host told Jones to take the paycheck and shut the guy up. At that point Jones said yes, you're right, I'll fight Chael any time, any where.

There is hardly a positive way to look at this. Jones clearly says he'd do something he doesn't end up doing, despite the situation providing him the ability. Though he may be one of the greatest fighters to ever live, Jones constantly trips up with words, saying things he doesn't really mean, or things he can't or won't follow up on. It's hard to watch, because we're seeing such a great fighter open himself up for ridicule based on the things he says. Hopefully, this situation will be over soon, and everyone can just put this behind them. It's been a pretty rough week for many people, especially Jon Jones.

BO-fucking-L!

BOL!!!!!!

I wonder what Dana's response was when Jon asked him "to tell Chael to stop."

[Mr. IWS]

Dana can hate Jones now all he wants, but Bones is shaping up to be the biggest heel in MMA history the way this shit is snowballing. His PPV numbers are going to be up now, no matter who he fights.

Yeah, it's funny how its working out since he initially tried to go the GSP route and be super-polite and "professional" and all that shit. Mr. Nice Guy Jon Jones.

You know, when you reinstall the OS on your computer, it almost feels like getting a fresh start on life in general.

I went and saw The Campaign the other day. Shit is funny.

If you usually get into Will Farrell movies then it will probably crack you up.

Not many comedies make me literally laugh out loud but this one did a few times. I liked it. Not sure why the critical reception was so mixed.

Zach Galifianakis was so different than any other character I'd seen him play. Dude really is an actor, I guess.

It's awesome. Running 64-bit now so going to order some more RAM.

I also bought Adobe Creative Suite 6 with a whole shitload of programs, like Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, etc. Should be fun getting into that.

And in case you didn't know, http://ninite.com/ is the world's greatest website after you reformat.

I didn't know. I'll have to check that out.

Yeah I like to reformat with a fresh install at least once a year. Once I notice it start slowing down. How much did you pay for that Creative Suite?

I didn't know. I'll have to check that out.

Yeah, basically it has a huge list of common programs. You just check off everything you want and it automatically downloads and installs everything for you in one shot. It's awesome.
