Five months from now, Chael Sonnen will fight for the UFC’s light heavyweight title.
He hasn’t registered a 205-pound win in the octagon since 2006, and he
was soundly defeated by UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in his
most recent appearance. So why did UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon
Jones agree to coach opposite Sonnen on “The
Ultimate Fighter 17” and ultimately face him in the octagon?
“Bones” said it was an easy choice. This is his chance to silence the trashtalking master by beating him down in a cage.
