Your last sentence about Sonnen is a broad generalization.

Youre right it is. Its a generalisation about how sports contain dirtier characters than Jones and should be held to the same standard.

it's time for the hammer to come down on this guy.

He hasnt been convicted of anything, has not had his day in court, has not even spoke about the incident and we are just supposed to throw him under the bus?

And just because we have reprehensible people at the top of every sport, how about we hope that the UFC decides to take the higher road and hold itself to a different standard.

I got a good chuckle out of that one. Have you seen the new season of TUF? Starring Michael Johnson(Juss off suspension for domestic abuse), AJ(Just off suspension for domestic abuse), Vitor Belfort(LOL) and a list of mirky characters. Meanwhile athletes are being force fed sponsorships, are free to take whatever PED's as certain commissions have publicly stated before fight nights and PPVs they will not be testing at this one, all this while the owners are publicly having affairs with employees, taking drugs themselves and you expect them to be held to a higher standard than what exactly?

Theres a fight on this weekend by the way you might want to catch between a guy who has served a jail sentence and had repeated accusations of domestic violence and another who appealed for the ban of condoms in his country during an HIV epidemic!

People need to stop acting like MMA is some pure sport or it has some honour in it. It is people beating the shit out of each other in a cage while talking as much dirt about each other as they can to sell the fight. If youre clean, admirable, honourable and a good person it doesnt matter how good a fighter you are unless you have a nation behind you. Welcome to prize fighting, son. Grab a seat. This one gon get nasty.
