Chael Sonnen goes off on Jon Jones following UFC 300 reveal: ‘There’s a level of stupid that’s really hard to achieve’

Chael Sonnen was left dumbfounded by Jon Jones’s UFC 300 confession.

During an interview with Submission Radio, the reigning heavyweight world champion revealed that he was offered the opportunity to headline the promotion’s landmark event on April 13. However, ‘Bones’ admitted to turning down the offer, noting that he’s still recovering from a torn pectoral muscle he suffered while training late last year.

Sonnen who famously talked his way into a title fight with Jon Jones in 2013 was baffled by the admission and believes that it was nothing more than ‘Bones’ trying to get his name back in the headlines while he continues to sit on the sidelines.
