"The most selfish guy in sport" - Chael Sonnen slams Jon Jones for tweeting and deleting 'disgusting' post about being banned from the gym
Chael Sonnen slammed Jon Jones for tweeting about being banned from Jackson Wink MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Sonnen stated that Jones' unapologetic behavior towards his long-time coaches Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn was "disgusting."
"Jon put a tweet on this and he deleted it and it was just disgusting. The tweet was disgusting and he said, 'it hurts really bad to have one of my coaches who I respect so much turn away from me, for the rest of the coaches going for that fight with me, we continue,' and then he deleted it. The reason that tweet is disgusting is he used the word team. You have the most selfish guy in sport using the word team when convenient..."

"He is not allowed to come in the gym... because ignoring it and expecting different results is insanity. He's got a lot of yes people around him that won't tell him the truth, so he might hate me for it... That guy is capable of greatness. I hope he comes back, wins the heavyweight title, stops drinking, goes forward and goes on to bigger things."
