Chael Sonnen called the fact that the bout between Jones and Johnson wouldn&#8217;t happen at UFC 187 and has an added opinion on his punishment in a recent interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tatame.com.br\/tatame\/noticias\/sonnen-questiona-decisao-do-ufc-sobre-jones-ou-corta-o-cara-ou-cala-a-boca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tatame<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sonnen is confused as to how Jones will eventually return to the octagon. Will Jones have to work his way back up the ladder or will his prior accomplishments catapult him to another championship match? Sonnen went on to say that he thought they should have cut Jones or not do anything at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH!
