Sonnen responds to ‘worst trash talker’ comment by Jones with relentless social media insults

It looks like Jon Jones may have woke up a sleeping bear. A few days ago, the former UFC light heavyweight champion and currently-suspended fighter did an interview with a Russian outlet where he referred to Bellator’s Chael Sonnen as “the worst trash talker“. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Sonnen wasn’t so happy about that, and decided to turn to social media to - well, talk trash.

The American Gangster started off last night with some zingers about Jones’ troubled history with USADA that has led to long absences from the Octagon, and his driving-related issues:

You spend more time on the shelf than a

BUM— Chael Sonnen (@ChaelSonnen) September 3, 2018

Sonnen then let up for eight hours or so - only to continue with a few more in the wee hours of the morning, where he started in on Jones’ alleged drug use:

Jon Jones-I heard you are not allowed at your brothers football games because you tried to snort all the lines off the field

He wasn’t done yet though.
