Sonnen is mainly known as an analyst who isn’t afraid to speak his mind and the 43-year-old has had plenty to say about Jon Jones in the past. It didn’t take long for Sonnen to respond to Jones and the Oregon native fired shot after shot against the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, with most of his comments being towards Jones arrests:
“Guy, you’re the only fighter in UFC history with more mug shots than Al Capone,” Sonnen said. “More wrecks than Evel Kneivel. More gunshots that Seal Team 6. More booze than David Crosby with Ernest Hemingway sitting on his shoulders.
“You have permanent handcuff creases in your wrists. You’ve handed over more belts and shoelaces than a convention of haberdashers.
