Chael Sonnen vs. Jon Jones on The Ultimate Fighter
By: Anthony L. Gonzalez
The fight many wanted to see, will happen on April 27th,2013. Dana White announced today that Jon Jones (17-1) vs. Chael Sonnen (28-12-1) will be fighting at an undetermined location. They also will be coaches on TUF starting October 29. The news source that made the announcement today was LA Times.
In August, Sonnen tweeted to Jones: “I know you will never fight me. Don’t be afraid. But I’ll always be the monster in the closet of your mind, little JJ.” After Jones’ win over Belfort, Sonnen reminded him: “I’m not going anywhere Johnny!!”
Jon Jones refused to fight Chael Sonnen on eight days notice in September when Dan Henderson injured his knee. The injury ultimately caused the cancellation of UFC 151. Jones received heavy criticism from Dana White and some of the media for not taking this fight. Jones claimed he did not have enough time to prepare for the wrestling expert, Sonnen.
Jon Jones last week stated on Twitter that he was reconsidering fighting Sonnen because the fans wanted to see this fight. He originally said Chael was undeserving of his title fight.
My take on the fight is that Sonnen has not proved himself at 205 to deserve a title shot. However he does have tremendous amount of courage to take a fight with Jon Jones. My pick is Jon Jones by TKO in round 2. Regardless of the outcome, this will be a very interesting season coming up on The Ultimate Fighter.
