Being a Mixed Martial Arts fighter, I can see where Jones came from. He has everything to lose and what does Chael have to lose? Nothing! He's already coming off a loss! He hasn't even REALLY been training for a TITLE fight. If he was to get in there and say, even if it was a lucky shot, or a cut, or an injury, beats Jones, how does that make Jones look? Stupid for taking the fight! LOL! It is unfortunate that this had to happen, but you have to look at the whole camps input. People think MMA is a "one person sport" completely untrue... If it was, you wouldn't have a coach, teammates, sparring partners, mentors, some even psychiatrists/psycologists! When your team and YOUR COACH is telling you not to take the fight, you can't be selfish and not listen, that would risk breaking the bond of a family...
Sorry to say but in this one, Chael win or lose had everything to gain and nothing to lose, and Jones was the complete opposite...
