Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones had some choice words for his longtime rival Chael Sonnen on Tuesday, May 25.
Sonnen, who competed for UFC gold three times in his professional MMA career, and Jones coached season 17 of “The Ultimate Fighter” against each other. Then, they fought for “Bones'” 205-pound belt in April 2013 after the season concluded and Jones won by first-round TKO.
Although the two were mostly cordial during the taping of “The Ultimate Fighter,” the bad blood between the two has grown over the years to the point where now they occasionally slam the other via social media. Sonnen also takes shots at Jones frequently during his YouTube show.

Sonnen then responded to Jones. He wrote, “You’ve got some grammar problems there, (former) Champ Spend a little less $ on Tequila and a little more on an editor.”

Sonnen then poked at Jones about his heavyweight negotiations with UFC president Dana White. White and Bones have been unable to reach a suitable price for Jones’ heavyweight debut. Sonnen also challenged Jones to compete in The American Gangster’s jiu-jitsu promotion, Submission Underground.
“You tried to play Chess against Dana White when you can’t win at Checkers against Betty White,” Sonnen wrote. “You’re alone, bitter, & bored Come grapple on SUG again. I gotchoo $5K”
The American Gangster continued, “Jon… Got your SUG contract here. FedExing to you at the intersection of Irrelevant Ave and Obscurity St, Nowheresville, USA.”
Bones then responded to Sonnen’s claim of beating Jones. Jones wrote, “I didn’t knock you out, I didn’t submit you, you just quit. Like the little b**** that you are. Live with it. Doing podcast and making Memes about me will never change that reality my friend. I hope you find peace.”
