Jon Jones won’t miss his chance to bury Chael Sonnen.
On Monday, Jones took to Twitter to address the recent assault lawsuit filed against Sonnen, which stems from an alleged Dec. 18 incident in which Sonnen is accused of assaulting a couple at a Las Vegas hotel. According to the details of the suit obtained from MMA Fighting, Sonnen Dr. Have beaten Christopher Stellpflug several times “without provocation”, punched his wife Julie and also fought several security forces who tried to restrain him.
Jones has had his share of legal troubles in recent years and Sonnen has usually been one of the quickest to criticize him. When a fan responded to Jones on Twitter with a video mocking Sonnen’s opinion, Jones quoted it and shot Sonnen.
This couldn’t be more accurate, imagine having someone at your workplace who couldn’t hold your jockstrap would be your biggest critic. Shit was annoying lol https://t.co/LlyzE3kCn2

He followed up shortly thereafter with a tweet that appeared to be another crack at Sonnen, this time apparently implying that Sonnen’s alleged wrongdoing is the result of karmic justice.
It’s interesting how sometimes the people who pray for your downfall and wish you ill end up getting everything they wished for you.
