Im glad… I like AJ and would much rather he fight a bigger name. I have been slacking on my MMA watching lately but I dont know John Howard aside from reading his record. I know the UFC doesnt want to rush AJ along but I would rather see him take on Martin Kampmann or Dustin Hazelett.

Martin is alredy on the books for another fight but I think Dustin is available.

How did turning down a fight workout for War “Jon” Machine? Why do the fighters believe that they can tell their boss, “well I signed a contract for that price, but no I refuse to do a contracted job, I’m good thx”….. Shhhhit if we did that guess what you get replaced, should be interesting..

I have a feeling this is one of the last opportunities that Howard will have to turn down a fight offered by the UFC. His next offer will likely be coming from another promotion.

see if the UFC (ZUFFA as a whole) would pay their no name run of the mill fighters better they wouldn’t have a problem signing a contract and agreeing to a set amount of money that the said fighter agreed too, damn UFC trying to pay people the amount of money that they all agreed apawn such bs

I think someone didn’t want to get their asssss kicked on tv bottom line

nightmares right alot of people dont fight for money…..I mean the money is nice once you can earn alot but myself and alot of other people i know that fight dont really fight for that reason….its more about the feeling you get the adrenaline rushing through your body and pushing yourself further and further every fight and seeing how far you can go…….(see the book “A Fighters Heart” by Sam Sheridan its a great book and really makes you think and shows really why real fighters fight…..Man I really believe howard just doesnt want to get ko’d because lets be honest I mean who isnt intimidated by rumble johnson…….I would give anything to fight in the ufc…for money or not just fighting in the ufc gets you recongnition in any gym and with any fight org. and promoter…..Man what i would give to be in howards spot

Without money you can’t support yourself

hey who knows…maybe howard knows he can’t beat rumble, and doesn’t wanna risk injury or a really poor showing for $4000. without knowing howard’s situation, it’s so hard to say. it sucks to say no to opportunity, but there’s 3 sides to every story…

completely agree johnboy, had that retard been able to win maybe he would have got more money in the future. he probably realized he would be destroyed by rumble and backed out. maybe he will get to fight gono. that will prove if rumble is ready to fight the upper echelon guys at 170.
