So Jones is afraid of fighting an undersized guy coming off a loss?
And who gives a shit about Sonnen getting the shot? It's not like they bumped Hendo from the card or Machida or something to give a shot to Sonnen. No one else wanted the fight (Well Weidman said he'd take it as well but that's pretty similar to a Sonnen offer). If Jones is a champion he should be willing and want to fight and beat anyone. Also, Jones wouldn't have even been willing to fight Machida or Shogun that night. He refused to fight anyone.

In that time I can guarantee you Sonnen saw this as an opportunity for him to take Henderson his teammates spot. Sonnen has known of this chance and been training for Jones for close to three weeks. Hendersons camp shoulda been more upfront and told the UFC of the injury when it happened and that it's possible he wouldn't be able to fight. From what I read Henderson hadn't practiced in a few weeks b/c of the injury and yesterday when he tried to train for the first time his knee couldn't take it so he pulled out. Let the UFC and your opponent know things could change and they might need to lok elsewhere more then 8 days ahead of time if you haven't practiced in a few weeks.
Dana said that wasn't the case. Chael was with his girlfriend's dad who just had a stroke and Dana said he was shocked to get called.
