UFC veteran Chael Sonnen has given his thoughts on the ongoing trolling from Jon Jones to the mixed martial arts world.
As we know, Jon Jones is the UFC heavyweight champion. The majority of fans have been dying to see him take on Tom Aspinall, who is the current interim heavyweight champion. It’s the fight that makes sense but for whatever reason, Jon just isn’t interested in pulling the trigger on making this fight official.
A lot of people believe that Jon Jones is actively dodging Aspinall, whereas others are of the belief that he isn’t being given the money he desires in order to consider this fight “worth it”. Either way, though, he’s rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.
In a recent video, Chael Sonnen made it clear that he believes Jon knows exactly what he is doing.
Chael Sonnen’s view on Jon Jones
“Just yesterday he did one where he said, ‘I’m not in any hurry. I’ve told the UFC my plans, I’ve told them what I’m going to do. I have not told them to keep it secret from you. They talk to you every day, they are more than welcome to share the news I shared with them with all of you’—being very careful to not actually reveal what that news was.”
“Watching him do this dance and just knowing that the people on the other side of the keyboard are just—they’re just getting so upset. I wish that Jon would refuse to fight for the interim championship. Refuse.”
Jones is the kind of fighter who can surprise everyone in the blink of an eye. In this instance, though, ‘Bones’ is creating a jam at the top of a division. If it carries on for much longer, the UFC will have no choice but to strip him of the belt.
