Report: Chael Sonnen says there is a fight in the works between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic

‘The American Gangster’ has spoken.

Speaking in a recent YouTube vlog, former UFC title challenger turned Bellator fighter and ESPN sports analyst Chael Sonnen claims that Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic are currently in negotiations for a mega-fight at heavyweight.

Sonnen cites co-podcast host Ariel Helwani as his source, who claims ‘both parties are interested’ in a showdown at heavyweight.

“When Ariel says that he is ‘hearing talks’ – when Ariel says he is ‘hearing talks’, Ariel knows. Ariel is a journalist – he does not speculate, he says I’m hearing that both parties have agreed – or that both parties are interested rather.
