They&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>With &#8220;The Bad Guy&#8221; running into a few problems of his own this year, &#8220;Bones&#8221; has been sure to return the favour on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in his latest YouTube video, Sonnen has explained why he feels like Jones doesn&#8217;t quite get some of his thoughts on the light heavyweight GOAT&#8217;s career.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jon Jones is Betting favorite of Stipe Miocic, WHY?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k7G9AZrrFfQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cYou gotta understand, Jon\u2019s no different than any other athlete.

He evokes absolutely no emotion from the crowd. They don\u2019t care if he wins, they don\u2019t care if he loses, they don\u2019t care if he fights tonight. When you\u2019re a main eventer like Jon, you evoke a very strong emotion. Some of it is of tremendous support and some of it is tremendous, \u2018I really want see you get beat.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cEither way, Jon isn\u2019t smart enough to understand. I might be leading the charge against Jon Jones, I might, I might be the leader of that band, but that band has a lot of members, and we\u2019re all doing the same thing.
