    The original plan for TUF 17, the one everyone is pissed about because Sonnen is getting an unwarranted title shot against Jon Jones as a result, was originally supposed to be Sonnen vs. Quinton Rampage Jackson. Jackson wasn't interested. Frankly, he didn't do a great coaching job last time around but the Evans/Jackson season was one of the most memorable and the highest-rated. Sonnen/Jackson probably would've worked and people wouldn't have complained about it.
