'The American Gangster' blasted 'Bones' for posting pictures of his bulked up physique instead of trying to promote himself and big fights down the line.Sonnen recently said on his YouTube channel:"Jon Jones is in a situation where there is a very big match for him but only one. What do you do after that one? In two years he went and did some pull-ups and drank some protein powder. He hasn't built a single fight for himself. Here we are, two years later and 40 pounds bigger, stuck in the same exact situation, which says there's nobody that you want to see fight Jon Jones."Catch Chael Sonnen's comments (7:58) below:Jon Jones teases return dateWhile it appears as though Jon Jones' long-awaited move to heavyweight is finally on the horizon, the exact date for the former 205-pound kingpin's return hasn't been confirmed.With UFC 283 in Brazil and UFC 284 in Australia already confirmed, December's UFC 282 pay-per-view appears to be the only logical slot available for the American's return.
