Sonnen discusses why it’s so hard for fans to get behind ‘drunken coke addict’ Jon Jones

With UFC 200 around the corner, many fans and pundits have speculated the outcome of the main event, Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier II. After Jones’ win over Ovince Saint Preux a few weeks ago, a question now hangs in the air if chances have increased for Cormier to get the win this time around. Chael Sonnen doesn’t seem to think so.

In a recent interview with the Three Amigos Podcast, Chael opined that despite Jon’s lackluster performance, he’s better than everyone else in the division, and might just beat Daniel a little more handily this time around.

“Even with that terrible performance Jon Jones just had, I don’t know anybody that can beat him. As bad as he just looked, I don’t know anybody that could beat him. He’s that much better than the rest. We can sit around and go, ‘What a bad performance,’ and it was. It was terrible. I still don’t know anyone that could beat the guy. That’s how good he’s gotten.

He’s just annoying as hell. I mean, that’s the tough part about Jon. You have to deal with this level of ridiculousness. The whole thing’s terrible. He comes to the ring, he hugs his entire family, which is really cool to see, but out of nowhere, he drops this bombshell after the fight that his mother had just gone through something and had just lost her leg. That’s terrible and it breaks your heart, but the other part of you is going, ‘But I just saw you and your whole family there. Why is no one home with Mom?’

You know, you can’t help but think that. He cuts this interview saying that this just happened like two days before, and the whole damned family is at the fight! You’re just scratching your head here thinking, ‘Man, the inmates are running the asylum.’ It’s just a level of ridiculousness…it’s insane. It was just the craziest interview. Your heart is breaking for his mom, but you’re thinking, ‘Man, what are you doing in the cage? Why are you all there?’

He didn’t realize that they were looking at the drunken coke addict champ, with all the talent in the world, that just can’t get it straight. -Chael Sonnen

Then he wonders why nobody can get behind him. He shows up to the press …
