Jon Jones May Fight Chael Sonnen Sometime in the Near Future

He's reconsidering his previous decision.

None

By now, you know the recent history shared by Jon "Bones" Jones and Chael Sonnen. At UFC 151, Jones was supposed to fight Dan Henderson. But, a knee injury forced Henderson to withdraw from the match, so UFCpresident Dana White tried to save the PPV event by instead pairing Jones and Sonnen. However, Jones refused to take the fight on short notice, White got pissed at him for doing so, and the rest is, well, history.

It sounds like Jones is having second thoughts, though. Although he's currently rehabbing an injured elbow, he took to his Twitter account last night to say that he might be open to fighting Sonnen after all sometime in the near future. Er, maybe.

The more I realize how bad the fans want to see me fight Sonnen the more I am beginning to disregard whether he deserves it or not
A part of me wants to do it for the fans the other part of me feels as if it delegitimizes the importance of championship

Are you over this fight at this point? We aren't. If anything, the recent history of Jones and Sonnen only makes it more appealing to us. Bring it on, fellas.
