There is no denying the fact that Jon Jones dominated the light heavyweight division for years. He racked up a record of 26-1 with notable wins over legends like Daniel Cormier, Mauricio Rua, and Quinton Jackson. However, after a series of personal and legal issues, Jones has been inactive for the past few years. In his return, Jones is making a switch to the UFC heavyweight division and fighting Ciryl Gane.

Chael Sonnen recently covered Jon Jones’ return on his popular YouTube channel where he offers his thoughts and opinions about MMA. Known for his controversial and often brash comments, Sonnen has been critical of Jones in the past, particularly regarding his outside-the-cage antics.

Chael Sonnen doesn’t understand the ‘fear’ of Jon Jones

In an interview on “Unlocking the Cage with Jimmy Smith”, Jones stated that he decided to move up to heavyweight because he lacked fear in the light heavyweight division. He also said that the financial rewards of competing at a higher weight class were also a reason for his move. However, Jones‘ reasoning did not go well with Sonnen. He was not very convinced by Jones being “scared” of Gane.

“What part, what is it that you’ve seen Ciryl Gane do that you haven’t seen other opponents? What part of that is fearful? I would personally be interested in that,” said Sonnen as he questioned Jones. Jones is yet to make any statement in response to Chael Sonnen.

Jon Jones’ comeback fight

Jon ‘Bones’ Jones’ return is one of the most anticipated fights in the UFC. First, there were rumors about him facing Francis Ngannou. But since Ngannou did not renew his contract with UFC, Dana White found Gane to be the perfect fight for Jones. Gane is a talented striker with excellent footwork and movement, and he presents a unique challenge for Jones.

However, the MMA world knows Jones for his versatility and adaptability in the cage. Because of that, it’s possible that he can come up with a game plan to neutralize Gane‘s strengths. The two fight in the main event of UFC 285 on March 5th at the T-Mobile Arena.
