UFC contender Chael Sonnen has intimate knowledge of middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s athletic prowess after suffering two losses to the pound-for-pound great, both by way of finish. He also knows a thing or two about light heavyweight king Jon Jones after working alongside him on TUF 17 and analyzing film while preparing for an April 27 tilt against “Bones”.
Sonnen was recently asked by FOX Sports Radio to weigh in on which of the two he felt was more talented and, in the outspoken star’s opinion, there’s hardly a comparison.
“I think there’s a big gap between them. I think that Jon Jones is considerably better, I think he’s the best talent our sport has ever seen.”
“Jon comes out there with something new every time. Some trick that it appears he’s making up. Stuff I’ve never seen.”

Anderson Silva feels Chael Sonnen hasn’t earned another title-shot yet

Chael… you’re delusional, son. Jon Jones is just a wrestler who can get away with sloppy striking because of his height/long limbs. Anderson Silva is completely unique, there’s only one… & he’s on his own level. Anderson Silva is in a league of his own, although Jose Aldo is catching up to him. As for Jones – he can be on GSP’s level… right below Anderson Silva.
I have no concern about whose word is right. I just wanna know whose cock is better.
sonnen has no right to say anything. He is nothing he cant show himself like his comment before. on the other hand,silva has the power he is able to do everything if he have a willingness to do. sonnen should get out of the octagon. He is scurvy scum and con.
While I agree with Sonnen, it’s not a good sign if it’s true that Jones is “considerably better” than Silva, seeing as how Silva is 2-0 against Sonnen. Why the hell do people wanna see this fight? Bones is gonna destroy him
