TUF 17 - Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen Coaching! - Title Fight April 27, 2013
What's up guys it's Trev back again here to bring you another video. This one will be doing a video talking about Jon Jones vs Chael Sonnen as Coachers for The Ultimate Fighter season 17 or tuf 17.
Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen will coach opposite each other on Season 17 of "The Ultimate Fighter" before squaring off for the UFC light heavyweight title on April 27, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times.
"This should be a good one," White stated in the report. "Jon has accepted the fight. He knows the fans want to see that fight."
Shooting for "TUF 17" will reportedly begin Oct. 29 in Las Vegas, with a January premiere featuring middleweight contestants. The show's April finale is expected to take place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and air on FX, though Jones' bout with Sonnen will likely serve as a separate pay-per-view headliner at a to-be-announced location.
The April fight date was necessary so that Jones will have time to rehab his injured arm, White said. "Bones" recently had his elbow stretched courtesy of a first-round armbar attempt from Vitor Belfort at UFC 152. Jones escaped the hold and earned a fourth-round submission, but his arm was damaged nonetheless.
