Time to Organise: #BoycottBones


I came into work this morning (in Australia) and was blown away by the news. UFC 151 is cancelled because Jon Jones refused to fight Chael Sonnen to save the card.

A lot of people are pissed. I'm pissed. In fact I've never seen this much anger by MMA fans ever - even over steroid abuses.

It's time to organise. It's time to send a message to Jon jones that he is nothing without the fans.

My suggestions:

1) start twittering #BoycottBones and/or #BonesBlows. Make it clear that you will boycott any card with Jon on it, any company that sponsors him, and any merchandise that features him. He loves his Nike sponsorship, so make sure to include them in every tweet. (Unfortunately I'm not a twitterite, so cant start this myself).

2) peeps that have accounts on other sites such as Mania or Sherdog, get this up there (and if you find it's already there, rec the sh*t out of it).

3) call into and email every MMA related show - online, radio, etc letting them know of your disgust and that you will be boycotting jones and all his sponsors from now on.

If you've got more suggested actions, do it, and add a comment letting people know. Jones needs to get the message.
