According to UFC President Dana White, Sonnen is anticipating another last-minute change to next week’s UFC 152 event, and the two-time middleweight title challenger is expecting to replace Vitor Belfort and take his shot at Jones’ light heavyweight belt.
“Chael Sonnen is in full training camp right now,” White told MMAJunkie.com. “He’s been training since he got offered the Jones fight. He said, ‘I’m in full camp right now because Vitor will get hurt and pull out, and it will be Jones vs. Sonnen, anyway.”
UFC 152 takes place Sept. 22 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The evening’s five-fight main card airs live on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
