For context, there is a deep-rooted animosity between Jones and Sonnen, dating back to their rivalry in the UFC.

The fighters squared off at UFC 159. Sonnen was taking his third shot at a UFC title, while Jones was defending his light heavyweight belt for the fifth time in a row. The fight was one-sided, with 'Bones' dominating the early exchanges and stopping 'The American Gangster' on the ground in the first round.

Jon Jones explains why he turned down UFC 300 main event offer

Jon Jones recently turned down the chance to compete in UFC 300's main event. A pectoral injury forced 'Bones' to withdraw from his title match against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 in November last year.

Jones stated in a recent interview with Submission Radio that he turned down an offer from Hunter Campbell to compete at the highly anticipated UFC 300 because he didn't believe he'd have enough time for proper training:

"I got a call from Hunter Campbell, one of the head lawyers of the UFC, asking me. He said, 'Jon, I know it's only nine weeks away, but if there's any chance you're feeling up to it, man, it'd be awesome news for the community that you're coming back and headlining one of the biggest events ever.' And as honored as I am for the opportunity, I just don't think I'll be ready."
