Sonnen believes Jones will get the job done at UFC 214. Furthermore, the Oregon native is confident he'll do so in easier fashion than he did when the two men first collided back in 2015.
"When a younger fighter beats an older fighter and then they rematch...the younger fighter wins again only easier," Sonnen told FloCombat. "That is the rule of fighting and holds true in boxing, wrestling or MMA. You would have to go back and search two decades to find a scenario where that didn't happen.
"There is a meaningful gap in their ages and their first fight wasn't close. A lot of people forget that but it was not close. I had it 5-0 to Jon Jones and the official judges had it 4-1. It was not a competitive fight. It was fun, and Daniel tried, and by Jon Jones standards next to [Alexander] Gustafsson it was his closest fight, but he still won by a large margin. And to make believe that with age and time Daniel caught him somehow is a big leap.''
So bet the house on DC lads.
