That guy has gone from being one of the most beloved fighters in UFC history, to being one of the most jeered over the course of about two weeks.

Hopefully Vitor smokes Boner Jones. But it most likely won't happen.
I figure Jones will take him down and elbow him to death. But hopefully not.

If he was smart, he would go ahead and embrace the heel role. It would be better for him and the UFC. And win himself some fans at the same time.

Sonnen took to Twitter and the UFC Tonight magazine show on Fuel TV to mock Jones, calling him a “punk kid,” among other things. Yet when Jones had a chance to face Sonnen, a much smaller man, in the Octagon, he turned it down, because he said he didn’t have enough time to prepare.
Last Thursday, UFC was forced to cancel its UFC 151 show scheduled for Sept. 1, because Jones refused to fight Sonnen after Dan Henderson pulled out of the main event with a partially torn MCL. No main event, no card, the UFC determined and White hammered Jones’ decision in a media conference call, saying he was "disgusted."
Sonnen has not quit the trash talk, either. Over the weekend, his pizza joint in Oregon debuted “The Jon Jones” special, which is “loaded with chicken and full of cheese.”
So let’s recap. Jones gets upset by Sonnen’s mostly hilarious trash talk and tells their boss in an attempt to get Sonnen to stop. Then, when Jones had the opportunity to shut Sonnen up himself, he refused, leading for an entire event to be canceled in the process.

I'm glad he turned down the Sonnen fight. Title shots should be earned and not talked into. This isn't rasslin.
Edit: And Jones isn't the one who cancelled the card.

Amazing how everyone thinks Sonnen is so funny now but hated him when he talked shite to a jackass Brazilian.
Again good for Jones. He's the fricking champion and has laid waste to everyone in his path not named rashad Evans. If he doesn't want to put his belt on the line against someone he's not familiar with in 8 days time he sure as frick shouldn't have to.

Especially someone that doesn't deserve a shot.
