Next fight of Jon Jones is not determined yet.
American mixed martial arts veteran Chel Sonnen shared his memories of his fight with Jon Jones, the current holder of the UFC heavyweight title.
"I had the confidence to win. For that fight, it was my first time competing at featherweight and I had more juice in me than Tropicana! He threw me across the octagon, that's when I started looking for a way out. By feel - imagine being trapped in a cage with a bear.
This is the only defeat after which I had no desire for a rematch. I didn't need a second fight, we're doing well. You proved your point, young man," - quotes Sonnen BJ Penn.
Recall that in April 2013, Jones knocked out Sonnen in the first round.
Jon Jones, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, announced that he has begun training after a lengthy recovery from his injury.

Former UFC lightweight champion T.J. Dillashaw expressed confidence that featherweight division titleholder Alex Pereira doesn't stand a chance in a potential fight with heavyweight division leader Jon Jones.
"We've seen that Pereira is not very good in the parterre. He's a champion, although he's flawed. However, he's such a good kickboxer. The way he has mastered MMA so quickly is incredible, but there are holes in his game for sure. He's obviously the best kickboxer we've had in the UFC. His wrestling and grappling need improvement.
We saw a fight where he was moved and he had no idea how to get back to his feet. He's probably working on that. He has an amazing jiu-jitsu fighter in Teixeira on his team, so I'm sure he's developing. A potential fight between Pereira and Jones? Jon would outpoint him. Easy," Dillashaw is quoted by Middle Easy.
Recall that last weekend at UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA, Pereira made the first defense of the belt at 93 kg, knocking out Jamal Hill in the opening round.
