Although Jones hasn’t done a ton of interviews as of late, he did speak with Allow Me To Interrupt (transcript courtesy of Bloody Elbow. This is where he gave his prediction for this upcoming fight under the Viacom-owned promotion. He also ripped Sonnen for his trash talk and even compared it to Conor McGregor.

“I think Chael Sonnen is the worst trash talker. Just because a lot of the stuff he says is gibberish. Conor McGregor. When he talks trash there’s a lot of truth behind what he’s saying. I think Khabib will be under more pressure. Just because, he has a very dangerous fighter who usually backs up what he says. Where Chael Sonnen is known to talk trash and lose.”

“I think Fedor wins this fight all over. On the ground and on the feet. He’s just the better fighter. He has great jiu jitsu, better strikings. He’s the better all-around fighter. If I was going to give Fedor any advice, it would be to work on his guillotine. Because Chael Sonnen is gonna shot. Chael Sonnen always shoots with his head on the same side. So work that guillotine, and work your triangles. I would also encourage Fedor to work on his get-up. S he’s not held down. And work on his cardio. Very important.”
