I should also say... or go to bed...
Part of the reason it seemed staged was the fact that while Bones was doing whatever he wanted, Sonnen was wildly throwing punches at his face and body while on his back. The punches were doing nothing and he was throwing them like a jack rabbit as Bones ignored them. The fight could have just been a money grab knowing Jones what would own Chael and Chael accepted. But the fight almost seemed staged within itself as if both fighters were in on it and that's why Chael was throwing a bunch of weak punches off his back. I don't know... anyways... glad I didn't pay for it just because of this fight. It was stupid he got the title shot, sane people knew he wasn't going to win and the only value to watching it was to see Sonnen get destroyed. Bones could have done much worse but they didn't let him... all about the money.
