Jon Jones Asked Dana White To Have Chael Sonnen Stop Calling Him Out

In light of the recent mess that was the cancelation of UFC 151, we still have yet to see the end of the aftermath. Not too many people came out of this looking great, except maybe Chael Sonnen, the unlikely "hero" in this story. Some people have come out of this cast in very deprecatory ways, few more than UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. In a recent article from The Wrestling Observer (Subscription required), there's yet another piece of information that will add fuel to the Jon Jones fire:

Jones was very upset after Chael began calling him out and mocking him on Twitter, going as far as to contact White and ask him to tell Chael to stop.

Even if you're an avid Jones supporter, it's hard to cast this in a positive light. Sure, it may not always be fun to be the butt of ten thousand Chael Sonnen jokes, but that's not something you can just ask Dana White to stop. It just seems childish for a professional athlete to respond so oddly to a little bit of heat from a possible competitor.

Also from the article, we see more of Jones, as his recent appearance on a radio show is analyzed, and what Jon said makes him look like a hypocrite:

About a week before this all went down, he went on a radio show and talked about how Chael was undeserving of the fight coming off the loss to Anderson Silva, and that he was disrespectful and not the type of person he'd want to give a title shot to anyway. The host noted that Chael wouldn't be able to take Bones down, and unlike Henderson, also a wrestler, he didn't possess the power punch standing and wasn't a finisher. The host told Jones to take the paycheck and shut the guy up. At that point Jones said yes, you're right, I'll fight Chael any time, any where.

There is hardly a positive way to look at this. Jones clearly says he'd do something he doesn't end up doing, despite the situation providing him the ability. Though he may be one of the greatest fighters to ever live, Jones constantly trips up with words, saying things he doesn't really mean, or things he can't or won't follow up on. It's hard to watch, because we're seeing such a great fighter open himself up for ridicule based on the things he says. Hopefully, this situation will be over soon, and everyone can just put this behind them. It's been a pretty rough week for many people, especially Jon Jones.

LOL, que the crying child gifs please

As noted, Im a Jones fan, and I have to admit he's certainly fucked up royally recently, can't argue otherwise.

I still think the court of public opinion is weighing too heavily against him. But I can't argue he carries a fairly high level of warranted guilt.

Instead of hiring a PR rep, his PR person quit right before this happened. Considering the way he's been acting up, no wonder the guy quit

his PR rep quitting makes sense. Can't figure out how, or why, but it makes sense.

This is too funny. A professional fighter is calling his boss and asking him to TELL another professional fighter to stop calling him out on twitter? What is this, highschool again? Someone needs to smack the bitchmade out of Jones sooner or later.

Stop it in the cage you tool, oh wait you turned that down, go cry to mommy or maybe get your brother's to fight your fights for you.

LO-fucking-L

I just hope for Jon's sake this isn't true... LOL, no I dont

LMFAO!

Unreal. Unreal.

are we suprised?

That is some straight up little kid shit lol

Dana's probably told Chael to let loose after the 151 debacle.

Jones probably has some weird kind of autism that effects him socially and causes hyperactivity of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex leading to uncontrolled fits of selfishness.

Yeah I have heard of that before. It's called acutedouchebagitis, incurable.

No way he called Dana and asked him to talk to Chael.
