“Nobody was in danger” - Chael Sonnen issues reaction after Jon Jones gets accused of threatening to kill female agent

Chael Sonnen recently issued his reaction to the news surrounding Jon Jones and surprisingly came to his former foe's defense.

According to some reports, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion was accused of threatening to kill a female agent representing Drug Free Sports International. The company began overseeing the anti-doping program for the promotion after they cut ties with USADA. He was reportedly intoxicated, which didn't make for a pleasant encounter.

Sonnen took to his X account and shared his thoughts on what Jones was being accused of and whether he believed there was more to the story. He mentioned that he isn't jumping to any conclusions until there is more evidence brought forward:

"This should have dropped April 1. Reserve judgment, more to it. Nobody was in danger. Give me a few to get free and I'll discuss."

It will be interesting to see whether Jones will face any repercussions for what transpired as the UFC will likely have to address the situation as he is a current title holder.
