Sonnen’s Take on McGregor
“Seeing Conor fight for his position, striving for number one, and battling for that status, as well as fighting for the chance to go out there and perform, compete, and entertain all of you, I loved it. I thought it was a very humbling moment,” shared Sonnen. “It was really cool to see Conor making his case in two different directions. He’s making his case to the UFC, and he’s not happy about whatever is delaying his return. At the same time, he’s being very genuine when he tells you guys, ‘Anybody, any weight, any time,’ he means it.”
“He knows that there’s a designated weight class and a set date, specifically against Michael Chandler,” explained Sonnen. “He gets that, but when he says anybody, he’s not trying to avoid Chandler. He’s telling you right away, ‘Whoever you can give me, whenever you can give it to me, I’ll fight Chandler but I don’t want to wait. If there’s someone even sooner, I want to do it even sooner.’ He’s being genuine.”
