Did Fedor say Chael or Cheick Kongo?

Ariel and the translator "confirm" that Fedor said "Oli Thompson and Chael Sonnen", but when Fedor said it, I keep hearing "Cheick Kongo" instead.

I don't have a youtube account so I can't comment on the video... please help a man find peace, what do you guys hear?

I don't know man, but Fedor's translator and that interviewer doesn't come across as most dependable people out there, you know what I mean

 

[Richard Fannin]

Yeah that translator really sucks, and Ariel is Ariel.
But damn I keep hearing "Cheick Kongo" (with heavy Russian accent but still, when he says "Chael Sonnen" it sounds different that the fighter he named after Oli...) every-time, did I convince myself that Fedor said it or is the translator even worse than we thought?

Thanks for the bump anyway

 

[Hairrow]

He said Kongo.

 

[Richard Fannin]

Thank you!
In the video comments I didn't find any posts questioning what Fedor said, but it would make a bit more sense to offer Oli Thompson and Cheick Kongo since they recently fought against each other.

So I'm off to link this vid after all the "lolol fedor ducking chael XDDDD connor REAL GOAT" posts

Sounds like Kenny Florian to me, that or Michael Crip Crop.

But seriously, sounds like Cheick Kongo.

100% Kongo, fucking Ariel stirring the pot.

Fedor said: "They offered me Oli Thompson and Cheik Kongo."
Chael Sonnen was not offered as a replacement opponent to Fedor

The winner of this fight needs to fight Kongo for the strap.

Ray Longo, Fedor wants that fight

Ray Longo, Fedor wants that fight

Nobody wants that fight.

 

[Mixfight]

Fedor clearly said Kongo.
