Chael Sonnen: "Dana Called & Offered Me Anderson Silva After Already Announcing It On ESPN"

[Arkridge]

Phrasing. But yeah, we've heard this plenty of times before and Dana has always firmly denied announcing bouts before an agreement was signed but here's Chael confirming what we already basically knew. He told the same story on an episode of his podcast.

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Which one do I believe less?? Jk

 

[PlatinumAmerican]

Chael p is for the people not a liar

 

[HHJ]

What year is this?

Tough one, two of the most credible people in MMA.

Dana is Dana, but isn't Chael ex-felon, real snitch, and a cheater, so...

 

[chitoortiz]

I would trust Chael with my life.

 

[galleryy]

Dana about to ask you if it's ok to date your mother. Lol

 

[Dozer .]

And he was finished twice by the GOAT

 

[Deleted member 391673]

Did he ever address the ridiculous short grabbing by Anderson in 2nd fight?

Should have been an immediate point deduction for silva imo

 

[TheRealWill]

Chael isn't the most honest guy but I don't see any reason for him to lie about this. Usually when he's being dishonest, it's usually in a joking way (nog bus story) and/or very noticeable.

Agree! However, there’s no “ex-felon”. Dude is a convicted felon. Can’t vote, possess a firearm, nor travel to a great many countries

 

[Kvolcom]

It's his negotiation tactic and it's shady af

He did the same thing w Georges....trying to get him to fight whittaker before the Bisping fight even took place lmao


Not how things work, Dana...

 

[Kingz]

Dana also likes to announce hospital visits before checking with the fighter. GSP after the Hendricks fight

 

[MarkHematominick]

Jeez, this guy still trying to link his name to Anderson’s to seem relevant lol

Right? He totally could’ve used that point.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

I would trust Chael with my life.

My friend, you need help. your life is worth more than that.

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

Thought this was going to be about Dana getting him back for a 3rd fight with Anderson

 

[Franc Mittelo]

That makes Dana White look like an idiot. Why would a shrewd business man give the fighters so much negotiating leverage? LOL

 

[DarkneT]

Click bait using anderson and danas name
Fuck off chael
