[Wild]

‘The American Gangster’ has spoken.

Speaking in a recent YouTube vlog, former UFC title challenger turned Bellator fighter and ESPN sports analyst Chael Sonnen claims that Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic are currently in negotiations for a mega-fight at heavyweight.

Sonnen cites co-podcast host Ariel Helwani as his source, who claims ‘both parties are interested’ in a showdown at heavyweight.

“When Ariel says that he is ‘hearing talks’ – when Ariel says he is ‘hearing talks’, Ariel knows. Ariel is a journalist – he does not speculate, he says I’m hearing that both parties have agreed – or that both…

Very intriguing fight. I don’t think Jones has the knockout power to put Stipe down like DC did, and it will be interesting if he could take him down and do damage there.

Jones may have damaged his reputation so much he can never undo what's been done, but I will say taking fights like this can only help his resume. I'll respect Jon for signing this contract win or lose.

Chaels a goddamn liar

I could see Chael shoving Ariel in a locker for giving him fake news.

I don't see Jon fighting at HW if it's not an immediate title fight.

I think it's the opposite, I think he has no wish to defend the heavyweight title, I think Jones wants to hand pick favorable matchups/lucrative ppv opponents. No way does he want to take on all comers.

Looks like Bones is trying to take the DC win of Stipe, away from him.

If Bones wins, then that would force a third fight with DC and truly cement himself as an all time great even with the whole steroid scandal.

Your opinion makes no sense. A title fight always pays more than a non-title fight.

I understand that everything Jonny does makes you butthurt but try to be reasonable.

I guess time will tell which of us is right

This is a very rational answer.

Can you delete it and make an angry post calling me a fag?

Interesting. That would definitely rub DC.

Yeah, he doesn't have that. It's all elbows and legs with Juicy J
