“I have a deal to fight a gentleman named Forrest griffin, on December 29th, but I don't know. Jon Jones will fight against Vitor belfort on September 22nd, but Vitor never shows up. He has been left out of fights more than he has shown himself to be. So if I had to guess, you'd see me fighting Jon Jones on September 22nd,” said Sonnen.
