Sonnen's disbelief was rooted in Jones' decision to turn him down at UFC 151.
"We're used to being attacked by competition," he said. "We welcome it. We're used to being attacked by the states because it's an opportunity to go in and educate them. But what we're not used to is being attacked from within. We're not used to having one of our own set off a grenade and walk away laughing and never look back. It was really kind of an unbelievable experience from where I stand."
Sonnen nonetheless hinted there is opportunity on the horizon, though he wouldn't give details. The status of a previously targeted fight with Forrest Griffin at UFC 155 was unclear.
"We'll see," Sonnen said. "There's going to be some news coming out on me soon. We'll see how things play out. Stay tuned."
Chael vs. Shogun or "The Karate Guy" for a number 1 contender's fight in Brazil. Winner fights JBJ on 12/29. They're probably trying to figure out who makes more sense.
Warzone209 - Lol @ Sonnens first fight @ LHW against a BJJ Blackbelt u ready to go night night again Sonnen.
Dont be scurred and try to duck someone who actually finished you. Avenge your loss or GTFO.

Yeah man, I mean I stil can't believe they staged that entire UN conference just to keep Chael outta Brazil. Shit was wild. NWO? More like UFC.
Warzone209 - I love how JBJ threads say he's ducking Rashad / Chael But nothing on Chael ducking griffin who already put his ass away by submission...Instead its I can't wait to see who his next tailored no BJJ opponent is...
This is the UG. White Republicans never do anything wrong here.
