Lyoto Machida turns down fight; Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort at UFC 152
- Thread starter Dademo
- Start date
Why the fuck did Machida turn down the fight? He could've leveraged the company for a bigger payday or atleast some brownie points in case he goes on a losing skid.
Vitor is doing the company a solid and if he doesn't get hurt, will have a guaranteed spot in the HOF.
Boy this shit cray.

Damn all this shit is insane.
Machida shouldn't have to earn it all over again. I mean he did earn the fight and it was to be sometime down the road since it was supposed to be Jones/Henderson here and then months down would be Machida vs. winner.
But yeah Machida backing out wasn't cool. But Vitor is one of those that will fight anybody as well and so... hopefully no more hand breaking and no more injuries otherwise Dana is probably gonna fire somebody.
But will Dana say anything about Machida backing out of the fight? I highly doubt it.

Jon Jones has opened up as a 13-1 favorite.
God dammit, Machida.
WHY?!
WHY?!
So now Sonnen (providing he beats Forrest), Henderson & Machida are all in line for a title shot. Nice.
Machida should have to earn his shot again because-
1/ he didn't deserve a rematch anyway.
2/ he only got the rematch on count of him "wanting it more than Shogun"......doesn't sound like he wants it that badly to me.
Was just reading that Shogun also turned down Jon Jones for UFC 151.
Crazy how this all went down 
: And yeah he accepted it from what I've read, Dana would kill him if he didn't.
