why has chael sonnen been outcasted from the ufc?

[jeff7b9]

Hotel incident
+
Fighting for Bellator
And I think doing commentary for Bellator

 

[chitoortiz]

Happens when you beat everyone in front of you Dana doesn’t like that Cheal is 49-0

undefeated and undisputed.

[Only Here for Attachments]

Setting the UFC record for number of substances in a single failed test?
Fighting for Bellator?
Attacking hotel guests while out of his mind on Ambien?
One of his countless other issues?

 

[chardog]

he's fine doing his own thing

probably making from 30-50K from his YT channel not including his many sponsorships

 

[FightsFTW]

At least the "Bones and the Gangster" online cooking show is doing well.

That's legitimately terrifying, I wouldn't trust Jones with a knife near me, especially for someone like Chael or DC who Jones hates.

 

[snugglecakes]

He had his espn show right up till the hotel incident. Pussy ass Disney doesn’t want gangsters.

He doesn’t need the ufc. Like him or hate him, he’s in pretty high demand.

What was the conclusion with that?

 

[sonhow]

Lets just say he left the only way a politican should .
In handcuffs.

 

[Kwic]

The UFC couldn't let him get too close.


I'm surprised it took this long Sherdog.

 

[CieloLuce]

Never seen so many Yellow Cards in one thread. EVER.

Chael is the best troll mma has ever seen, and those yellow cards peeps are here to put some hespect on that name.

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

Probably too busy filming Randy Couture pornog

This is a shoop, the original is Jones holding a giant steroid needle I’m sure

It's like the 2nd or 3rd post guy.

Never been in the War Room I take it?

He looked to be in a great spot a couple of years ago with appearances on fox, his ariel and the bad guy show on espn etc.

Since ariel has been kicked out of the ufc and espn and become redundant I noticed chael has been outcasted as well. Is dana punishing him for working with Ariel? It is kind of sad to see chael relegated to putting out artarded takes on youtube to stay relevant.

He still shilling every day on YT so I think he must still be good with UFC.

 

[xhaydenx]

His spot in the UFC ecosystem was kinda taken by DC(a tragedy tbh).

Fuck. Never thought about it like this. I'd take Chael over DC any day.

 

[DestinedAussie]

I don’t see it, I think Chael is doing fine, everyone doesn’t need to be involved in the UFC..

I agree, his pretty popular and wants to cover all MMA. I think his happy being independent. There are plenty of benefits if you can be successful of not having to answer to the man(Dana).

 

[Ken's Sideburns]

Yea like poster above me said he shills for UFC I’m sure him and Dana still have a good relationship on a low key type of level.

Chael is a spin master with his words such as making a popular fighter who wants to renegotiate contract come off as ungrateful by comparing that same fighter’s doe-eyed enthusiasm signing first UFC contract. Truly is a work of art that I came to admire. Conor took a page out of his book by saying Anthony Smith didn’t want him to take steroids to heal fast because he finds joy in seeing Conor never being able to run and play with his kids LOL.

plus all of Chael’s grappling tournaments are aired on UFC Fight Pass.

 

[BAM]

Never seen so many Yellow Cards in one thread. EVER.

Eh, that's nothing, I got carded in a thread in around 2008 in which probably over 100 people got yellows from it
