Former UFC fighter and current analyst and commentator Chael Sonnen criticized the organization's current heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who publicly announced that he declined to headline the promotion's 300th anniversary event.
“There is a level of stupidity that is very difficult to achieve. He didn't say anything useful, only things that could harm the company. ‘They don’t have a main event and they’re in a bind, so whoever else they call, keep in mind that you can dictate the terms because they need you!’ That’s what he told all the other fighters on the roster. There’s a small chance that he just lied, and then it’s good PR, good work, but I think they really called him.”
