The rivalry between Jon Jones e Daniel Cormier It is so heavy that, in the various discussions held by the duo, names of other athletes ended up being mentioned. This time, Chael Sonnen was cited. When 'DC' was excluded from the list of the best fighters in MMA history, because of doping, 'Bones' pointed to the bad boy as an example that using steroids is not enough to win fights. Upon learning of this, 'The American Gangster' was not pleased and responded.

On his social media, Sonnen went on the attack and did to Jones what he had done to Anderson Silva in its heyday: heavy trash talk. The North American recalled the controversial episodes that the rival starred in in his career and questioned the veracity of some videos, in which Jones is portrayed as a good person.

"Shut up! Adults are talking. Your assessment of me is as out of touch with reality as your home movies 'Jon Gives Rioters Guidance' and 'Jon Chases a Thug with a Shotgun'. Get better scriptwriters and ask someone to play you in your fake videos. You are as bad at acting as you are at lying to the cops,” Sonnen posted on Twitter.

Despite his good record at middleweight (83,9kg) in the UFC, Chael Sonnen fought against Jon Jones for the light heavyweight (93kg) belt in 2013. On that occasion, 'The American Gangster' was defeated by technical knockout in the first round. If the relationship between Sonnen and Jones is not good at all, on the other hand, the one he has with Daniel Cormier is great. In addition to their past in wrestling, the duo also works as commentators after retiring.

Your assessment of me is as unconnected w/reality as your “Jon gives moral guidance to the rioters” & “Jon “ShotGun” Jones chases down Burglar” home movies
Get better writers
