Henderson: Sonnen did not know about my injury!
Jones' coach accused Chael
Sonnen for planned attack on Jon Jones and preparation for the match at least
ten days because he knew about the injury of Dan Henderson, but Dan denied it
all.
Jon Jones in recent days is
under immense fire of MMA fans for his decision on the recommendation of coach
Greg Jackson to refuse match against Chael Sonnen, after it became apparent
that Dan Henderson will not be able to fight due to a serious injury.
To distract everyone from
Jones, one of his coaches accused Sonnen to secreat prepairing for the match
against Jones at least ten days because he knew about Hendovu injury, but the former
champion of Strikeforce and Pride denied everything.
- "Chael didn’t know
anything about it," he said. "He had definitely not been training at
all. My guys told me that Greg Jackson said in an interview that Chael was down
training with me and getting ready for the fight and knew I was hurt. It was
nothing like that at all.. He wasn’t even down here. I asked him if he wanted
to come down and help me train a couple months ago, but he didn’t come down."
- "Ultimately it was his
decision not to take a fight with Chael," he said. "I don't think
it’s unfair that he’s been blasted like that. All I know is, that’s not the
decision I would’ve made. Obviously he has his own reasons. I can't think of
any reason why I wouldn't take a fight like that. Other than being injured, if
I’m healthy, in shape and ready to fight that day, it doesn't matter who they
want me to fight. I'll fight, especially if I’m champ."
- "I didn’t think it was
the smartest move at all for Chael to step up," he said. "Being out
of shape, for Chael to take Jon Jones down would require probably a little more
energy than to bounce around the cage and exchange punches with him. So I think
he definitely would’ve needed a little bit more gas than sitting on the couch
for six weeks would give him."
