Chael Sonnen He is known in the MMA world for the various provocations he makes to his opponents. The Brazilian Anderson Silva was his favorite victim, but no athlete escaped the North American's spicy statements. However, this time, it was Sonnen who suffered from his rival's attacks. The light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, Sonnen's next opponent, fired several criticisms at his opponent.
Jones stated that Chael doesn't have the soul of a champion, that Sonnen just wants the spotlight and promises to beat the loudmouth in a 'devastating' way.
“Sonnen doesn't believe (in himself), and that's why he always grabs every opportunity he has to be champion,” said Jones, in a promotional video for the fight.
“He doesn’t have the soul of a champion, the heart, nothing… He’s not a champion. He wasn't made for these champion things. He just wants the spotlight. He wants this opportunity, he wants a big fight and I'm going to give him what he wants. I will win Chael Sonnen in a devastating way”, added the champion.
Jones and Sonnen, who are coaches of the 17th season of TUF in the United States, will compete for the light heavyweight belt in the main fight of UFC 159, an event scheduled for April 27, in Newark, United States.
