Chael Sonnen 'confused' by UFC punishment of Jon Jones: 'If you part ways with a guy, cut him completely'

"I'm a little bit confused by it. You have to do something, you have to take some kind of action, I support that. But I don't fully know what it means to strip a guy of his belt. What do you do with the guy when he comes back? You put the guy who's clearly the best fighter in the world ... you don't put him in a title fight? So what is the fight, is it a contender's fight? If he wins that, does he then get a fight for the championship? Or do you bring him right into a championship fight but when he walks to the ring he isn't the champion .
