Former UFC fighter and now analyst Chael Sonnen reacted to the news that Jon Jones requested six months to prepare for a fight with Tom Aspinall.
It's been four and a half months since that fight. Did he not train? Train with Aspinall in mind? Did he not full well know the undisputed champion was gonna take on the interim champion? What do you mean six months - six months from when? You mean from right now, don't you? That's very interesting to me. When I dreamed about being good, it never even crossed my mind in my dreams to be a world champion that doesn't practice.
