Id assume Jones was more referring to Chael's antics... rather than him actually being called out as a champion...
Its funny, Jones just destroyed 4 of the best LHW's ever and now he is suddenly scared of Sonnen.
People are more focused on the talk, than what would actually happen if they fight went down.
I still dont know why the UFC didnt make Sonnen vs. Jones instead of Vitor vs. Jones....
I guess they could want to build up the hype as much as possible to catch some interest... still if Sonnen has to fight a top LHW, I dont have too much confidence in him... The UFC may miss out on their big payday... not making this fight.

Hoss makes alot of good points though. |
Unlike at MW... There is really no way to justify a title shot at LHW for Sonnen...
And how do we know that Sonnen wasnt training for Jones since Dan got hurt, they are good friends...
Sonnen's assessment is exactly the opposite of what he said...
Chael lost his big opportunity to get one on Jones... Not the other way around.
People act as though Jones is the only champion who would do this... it was the smart move imo...
Do you think GSP would have accepted a fight with BJ on 8 days notice, when he was supposed to be fighting Fitch back then...
