He noted that the former champion often chooses to stay away from octagon action, while other fighters are always ready to face him.'Bones' announced his retirement earlier this year. However, after the announcement of the UFC White House event, he expressed his desire to make a strong comeback for that card. Amid that, UFC CEO Dana White has expressed his skepticism about relying on Jones for such a historic event.In a discussion on The Ariel Helwani Show, Sonnen was asked about Jones' potential return at the UFC White House event. In response, he said:"[Jon Jones] doesn't understand, fighters want to fight. Jon is the only fighter that doesn't want to fight. Jon is the only fighter that's ok taking 3 years off to drink some protein shakes... Now he's sitting out by choice..."He added:If Jon thinks he's gonna find a dance partner in [Alex] Pereira and one of the contingencies is that Pereira sits and does nothing for a year... It's not going to solve the problem, and it's also not going to solve Dana's problem with Jon and the White House."Check out Chael Sonnen's comments below:Jon Jones calls for Alex Pereira fight at UFC White HouseJon Jones and Alex Pereira teased the possibility of a fight between them last year, but it never materialized.
