Jones obviously didn't get the memo - he's the heel now - Sonnen's the good guy.

Jones bitched about Lyoto not being a money maker...now he's bitching about a fight that will make him more than almost any other fight

It was only a matter of time for Jones to start complaining hes not getting enough money...Jones should think like the movie Gladiator...Winning isnt the maiin thing....Entertaining the crowd will get you the money...
