he gets his title shot because he sells PPV and can hype a fight like no other. he is an annual legit contender @ 185 sure and while i think he needs atleast one if not two LH wins before its a legitimate title fight but its not that much different that vitor getting a shot only besides the fact that sonnen is a lot bigger draw. i sort of cant argue with the booking. look it might not be the ideal #1 contender but the fan in me would rather see it over any of the jones vs XXXX rematches that would be the alternative

if you go soley by the rankings then no he needs to earn a place at 205 but you know all you guys got a little excited when you read the fight was going to happen more so than if you would have read machida or whoever.. its a sport of its also a business and a bit of entertainment and that fight to me is interesting and im looking foward to it.. no i dont think chael will win but i sitll want to see what happens

plus he is going to torment jones on TUF might even make me watch the show instead of tuning in to catch the tail end of the fight the last 5 mins

and also i think jones laying off and taking the coaching gig until april might serve a purpose to let his bicep heal
