Chael Sonnen says Jon Jones “isn’t smart enough” to understand his constant criticism

Harry Kettle - April 23, 2022

MMA analyst Chael Sonnen has claimed Jon Jones isn’t smart enough to understand some of his criticisms. While their one and only meeting inside the Octagon came way back in April 2013, the feud between Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen seems to be standing the test of time quite well. They’d always been fairly respectful towards one another but in recent years that relationship has soured, largely due to Sonnen calling out some of the indiscretions Jones has had.
