yes
well with the latest episode of TUF receiving the lowest ratings ever, this should help for the next season
Jon Jones, Chael Sonnen to coach 'Ultimate Fighter,' fight April 27
http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1.../p2p-72912761/UFC President Dana White told The Times on Tuesday that Jones and Sonnen have been assigned as opposing coaches in the third installment of "The Ultimate Fighter" on FX, creating some extensive pre-fight hype for their April 27 pay-per-view le match at a site to be determined.
"The Ultimate Fighter" with Jones and Sonnen is set to begin shooting on Oct. 29 in Las Vegas, with a debut in early January as young middleweights participate in a tournament that leads up to an April "TUF" finale at the Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, where the winner will receive a multi-fight UFC contract.

So, no Forrest fight ... RT @latimespugmire: Dana White told me he does not plan to have Chael Sonnen fight between now and April 27. #UFC
yes
This is going to ing own. Sonnen and TUF are a match made in heaven.
UFC says Jones and Chael will be a part of a conference call tomorrow at 4 pm ET.
So much for Jones saying he wouldnt let Chael talk himself into a le shot, guess the money was to big to pass up.
LOL
Cool should be fun.. Sonnen talked his way into another beating..
lol its ing crazy that Chael gets beat in July for the le, and his very next fight is for the belt again.
It is dumb.. I don't know why Jones has to wait till April for a fight unless he needs the time off because his arm is hurt. This is really about TUF ratings which have been bad since going to Fri on FX..
Chael is gonna hype the out of this fight, might even surpass the numbers his fight with Silva got. Dude is a trip I just got finished with his book, very entertaining.
I am going to say it will do under 1 mil buys because Chael is ooming off the loss to Silva. From a fight standpoint he is not coming into this one with momentum..
I've never actually watched a full season of TUF, just episodes here and there. Somehow I have a feeling that Season 17 is going to be something I can't miss. Chael is just incredibly entertaining (and if you haven't read his book, do it. F-ing hilarious).
To me TUF is okay when I have nothing else to do. And I'm watching almost every one, the american one.
As for Sonnen and Jones.
Damn that's not good. I was hoping to see Sonnen fight on December.
If I was Dana I would the TUF ratings. There is Sonnen climbing the ladder and Jons to fight Hendo, Machida or SILVA on Feb probably.
Maybe it';s a sign that Silva really does not want to fight Jones and wants GSP next. White is waiting for the GSP-Condit fight and then will work on this superfight. WHo knows?
I love Sonnen mostlybut damn. Let him fight at least one fight at 205.
As much as I like Sonnen approach to fighting he stands no chance against Jones. But he will demolish Jones in a war of words. Joes will fall but mentally overall it will make him stronger IMO.
Not available for me ...
Funny how all that works.
Machida and Hendo got spanked by Dana. Hendo for not informing UFC about his injury soon enough. Machida for not taking the fight.
Chael gets present for challenging Jones to rescue UFC. That leaves Bones who probably got extra money to he is happy esp. with relatively easy fight with MW.
I like Chael but the problem with all this talk now is does anyone buy into it anymore? He can't back it up.. He's funny as but that is really it..
FX rep FX rep: TUF is going to move off Friday nights. It's going to be on a weekday. Announcement in 30-45 days. " e should watch their ass."
Does not matter much. It's still entertaining.
Jones cannot just shut up and when something bothers him he interrupts the one who is speaking.
Jon reveals that he is injured with small tears in his elbow so he needs to be off till April..
Yup but a thin line. If he can't gain momentum on TUF and show how good he is, some of his talks might roll eyes and sound like a clown talk.
Here is the deal with Jones that pisses me off. First of all he didnt want to fight Chael because he said he didnt deserve it, fine I agree but nobody else stepped up to take the fight. Then he said He would have fought Chael, but he wanted ample time to prepare for him which is it Jon?
Then he went on to say he decided to fight Chael because its what the fans wanted to see, but in reality Jon the fans really want to see you fight Silva so dont act like your giving the fans what they want.
What does Silva have to do with anything? You want him to call Silva out. Would you if you were him? He is 25 and still young in his career.. Silva is an awful big meal at this stage...
I didnt say he needed to call out Silva, but he didnt need to say he wouldnt fight him either. WTF are you talking about big meal for Jones, he has been the most dominant and gifted champ I have seen probably ever. The point I was making was that Jones said that he changed his mind about fighting Chael because thats what the fans wanted to see, but really the fans want to see the two best fighters in the sport go at it to see who is really the best. Quit being such a got ass fanboy and come with better than hes 25 and still young, what does that matter?
Quit being such an obnoxious little and address me on the topics and table the immature trash talk...
You are not a fan so of course you would say to Jones, "Take the Silva fight why not the fans want to see it” You will also be the first to say Jones was "Overrated and a pussy if he loses” My point which is lost on you, is that Jones is very early in his career and still growing as a champion and a fighter. Is Jones ready to fight a veteran like Silva in the biggest fight of his career? I'm not sure he is and the fight has never been offered to him. Anderson is a very shady fighter, if he were to beat Jones he would never fight him again IMO. Dana had to beg this guy to fight Sonnen again and reportedly give him a massive raise. Silva is telling everyone he won’t fight Weidman and is calling out GSP for the payday. The guy is almost 40 and is looking for a few big paydays to go out on... So Jones can fight Silva, lose to Silva you can call him an "Overrated pussy" and that will be it... He actually has to worry about his career and making the right choices... Boxers like Sugar Ray never jumped into fights with other greats until they felt ready (Hearns and Hagler)... So why should Jones when he is already fighting everyone legit in his own weight class? You talk like he is fighting cans.. Have you even looked at his god damn resume? Maybe if you keep ing in his direction he'll call Silva out and you'll be on your hands and knees begging Silva to win... Jones should not feel like he has to rush into the Silva fight.. At all...
