Sorry Daniel Cormier, but Jon Jones is coming back 'a lot sooner than you think' and 'will be champion again'

Daniel Cormier is the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion and will be defending his 205-pound strap against Alexander Gustafsson in the UFC 192 pay-per-view (PPV) main event on Oct. 3, 2015 in Houston, Texas.

That said, "DC" wouldn't have a title to defend had Jon Jones -- who handily defeated the Olympian at UFC 182 -- not been suspended for his run in with Johnny Law back in April. "Bones" was suspended and stripped of his title with no set return date.

But Chael Sonnen, who knows a thing or two about the ex-champ, told News.
