The choice of Chael Sonnen to face Jon Jones was the target of criticism among several UFC fighters, such as Dan Henderson, Lyoto Machida e Forrest griffin, who stated that he did not deserve a title shot . However, as expected, the North American does not leave one controversy aside and gave the other to his enemies.
At the press conference to promote the confrontation, Sonnen says that he may not be worthy of the confrontation, but he does not reject confrontations and pursues challenges.
“Welcome to life! It’s not about merit, but about going after it, going after what you want”, said Chael. “Only I challenged Jones. I said I wanted my chance against him. Everyone complains, but no one agreed to face him at UFC 151, not even the Karate Kid (Lyoto Machida). I never get hurt, I never turn down fights,” Sonnen teased.
