Sonnen: Henderson is the greatest of all time and is perfect to beat Jones!
Chael Sonnen is convinced
that Dan Henderson is ideal fighter who could beat Jon Jones next month.
Light heavyweight fighters
in the UFC now almost regret that Chael Sonnen failed to win a championship
belt in the middleweight division. Among these almost certainly belongs Jon
Jones, who in recent days has more to deal with Sonnen's assaults than the
finishing of his preparations for the upcoming match against Dan Henderson at UFC
151.
Many consider Jones a huge
favorite in the match, which was scheduled for the first September, but Sonnen
considers that Handerson is perfect for beating the current light-heawyweight
champion.
- "I believe in 'Hendo'
- and so should you," Sonnen said. "If you look at Jon Jones and
think of a man who can beat him, you would think of someone with great KO
power, the best chin in the sport because - with his reach - Jones is going to
hit you, great wrestling and a relentlessly aggressive style. That man already
exists - and his name is Dan Henderson."
- "Jones is a talented
kid, but he's taking on a man, and I'd bet on the man any day of the
week," Sonnen said. "Dan beat the 170-pound champion in Carlos
Newton, he's won the Pride 183-pound title, the Pride 205-pound title, the Strikeforce 205-pound title, and he's won the two great
tournaments in our sport: the UFC tournament back in the day and the Pride
Grand Prix. All in all, he's beaten 11 world champions in his career. The man
is the best of all-time. That is who Jon Jones is facing."
