“I’ll let what UFC stands – Jon has two selections: You battle Tom or you don’t battle,” Sonnen stated. “There’s no one else goes to be provided. The truth is, we’ve obtained a reputation that got here off the board (of prospects) when it comes to Alex Pereira.
“Dana put that to absolute relaxation, and when the oddsmakers put it as a 6-to-1 unfold favoring Jones, that battle is gone. So Jon can sit out and never battle – that’s true. However he’s not going to be in a spot the place he might battle another person. It’s principally retire, (or) it’s battle Tom Aspinall.”
Jones just lately took to his ‘X’ account to dangle the opportunity of vacating his heavyweight gold earlier than strolling away from the game of MMA.
