Look, from a liveability and a civility standpoint, okay, go ahead and question Jon Jones\u2019 character. I\u2019m speaking about from a marketing and promotional standpoint \u2014 he\u2019s doing everything right. The gig is up. Everybody knows. You were on TMZ in handcuffs crying about \u201cI wanna go home and be with my kids\u201d. It\u2019s like, dude, it\u2019s two in the morning, you\u2019re firing guns whilst running donuts in a parking lot, high and drunk on tequila. Are your kids even still up, you bum?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Sonnen challenged Jones for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship back at UFC 159, losing in the first round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Sonnen continues to pump out content for the fans, and given the trajectory that Jones has been on when it comes to replying to his opponents as of late, it&#8217;s not hard to picture a scenario in which &#8220;Bones&#8221; replies sooner rather than later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>What do you think of this scathing remark from Chael Sonnen? Do you think he will end up getting a response from Jon Jones?<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 4\/22\/2020.<\/i><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen has gone in hard on his former opponent Jon Jones following his recent arrest, labeling him a &#8220;scumbag&#8221;.
