Sonnen’s disbelief was rooted in Jones’ decision to turn him down at UFC 151.
“We’re used to being attacked by competition,” he said. “We welcome it. We’re used to being attacked by the states because it’s an opportunity to go in and educate them. But what we’re not used to is being attacked from within. We’re not used to having one of our own set off a grenade and walk away laughing and never look back. It was really kind of an unbelievable experience from where I stand.”
Sonnen nonetheless hinted there is opportunity on the horizon, though he wouldn’t give details. The status of a previously targeted fight with Forrest Griffin at UFC 155 was unclear.
“We’ll see,” Sonnen said. “There’s going to be some news coming out on me soon. We’ll see how things play out. Stay tuned.”
