Bones wants to put Sonnen & UFC 151 behind him

LAS VEGAS, NV -- Sometimes people can just talk themselves into anything, Chael Sonnen talked himself into a UFC title fight with Jon Jones.

Sonnen is arguably the best trash talker in the UFC, and perhaps he got under the Endicott-native's skin. The champ, who'll coach against Sonnen in this season of the Ultimate Fighter, changed his tune about fighting the brash challenger, after declining a bout with Sonnen in September, which would have saved UFC 151.

And that's something Bones just wants to be able to put behind him.
