News about Chael Sonnen

Conor McGregor is spending time with his family while recovering from the injury that ruined his UFC comeback, his reps have insisted - despite an MMA analyst saying he was actually in rehab. The Irishman, 35, was officially ruled out of UFC 303 last week, where he was slated to fight Michael Chandler in Las Vegas later in June, due to an unspecified injury. Speaking on ESPN MMA on Monday, former MMA fighter Chael Sonnen dropped a massive hint that McGregor was not injured and actually had checked into rehab for alcohol and substance abuse.

TNT Sports, a cable television company, conducted an interview in which the UFC actor was asked several movie-related questions on the day his silver screen debut - the Roadhouse remake - was released on Amazon Prime. Before choosing the rest of the cast, McGregor chose himself as the protagonist. When asked who the 'bad guy' would be,' he replied, 'boom, boom, boom Chael, slap the head off ya,' while doing out a slapping motion.

In Netflix's first boxing game, Tyson, 57, will face 27-year-old Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium on July 20. The boxing legend released a ten-second compilation of his first training session on Wednesday, in which he says, 'It's day one.' 'The party has just got started.' Sonnen, on the other hand, was suspicious of Tyson's preparations when he took to X (formerly Twitter) to call bluff on the boxer. 'If you're ever going to spend five seconds on mitts as a way of causing the audience to believe you're doing a training session, make sure you splash water on your face and T-shirt first,' Sonnen said.

Fans could be in for a tumultuous clash at UFC 300 as rumors swirl around a welterweight title match between Leon Edwards and Khabib Nurmagomedov. At the Las Vegas showcase in April, the Brit was supposed to make his third title defense against rightful challenge Belal Muhammad. Edwards, a former UFC star, could face the 35-year-old Hall of Famer following a recent announcement from his manager that he has returned to training, according to former UFC actor Chael Sonnen.

Conor McGregor, according to Chael Sonnen, there is only one way to defeat Michael Chandler. In December, the Irishman revealed that he would face 'Iron Mike' in his long-awaited return to action. McGregor has been inactive since suffering a fractured tibia in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021, but has since returned to work and is planning for a return to the Octagon.

Chael Sonnen has claimed that there is one legitimate UFC fighter who is 'coming for' Conor McGregor's title as the sport's best celebrity.' Since his meteoric climb through the company over the last decade, McGregor, 34, has been the poster-child for the UFC. McGregor has always been in the spotlight, from being the first double-champion in the company's history to his super-match with Floyd Mayweather.

According to Chael Sonnen, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg's potential superfight would surpass all-time pay-per-view records. Musk and Zuckerberg, two social media moguls, have been caught in a recent, light-hearted, war of words over a potential cage clash between them. Last Tuesday, Twitter CEO Musk tweeted that he was up for a cage match in Las Vegas with Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook parent Meta, who has studied in jiujitsu.

The second greatest challenge to being inside the octagon itself is likely to see your loved one's body cross the line in front of a throng crowd. However, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, more commonly known as the UFC, has a very different life with their partners away from the bright lights of fight night. While some fighters are in long-term relationships with their childhood sweetheart, others are still dating ring girls or have fallen in love with female fighters in the game. On the world's biggest stage, MailOnline has taken a look at some of the underlying elements that fuel the ardent MMA fighters' rock-hard fans.

Israel Adesanya may have lost all three fights with Alex Pereira, including kickboxing and MMA, but the betting favorite makes his way to UFC 287. Many believe he won their first battle and point to the fact that he was ahead in the upcoming two, before the tough Brazilian found the finishes he needed. And now UFC fighters are split on how the Miami match will be decided. Pereira's wealth and mental advantage over Adesanya could sway the opinion in his direction, but a fully motivated 'Stylebender' with the necessary experience and technique is a risky proposition.

By UFC analyst Chael Sonnen, Tyson Fury's decision to ban Francis Ngannou for a cage fight under boxing rules has been described as the "most stupid idea in sports history." Ngannou, who was suspended by the UFC earlier this month after struggling to find a new deal, was given the unique deal by Fury over the weekend. 'I know you're out contract with the UFC,' says the world heavyweight boxing champion during a live interview with Seconds Down. If you want to win some big boy money, come see the Gypsy King and let's make it happen in a big, bad fight for the poorest M.F. on the planet, there is no one on the planet. Let's make it spicy in a cage, four-ounce gloves, on the Queensberry [boxing rules], and let's have a badass referee like Mike Tyson.' Did I just sell that to the world?'

Chael Sonnen, a UFC legend, has no doubts that Conor McGregor is a natural performer, and has confirmed that the Irishman knew exactly what he was doing when he left USADA's testing pool. McGregor stopped being tested after fracturing his leg in his loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, and fellow UFC actor Anthony Smith said in a recent podcast that there was 'only one reason' for him to do this. "You should only do it for one reason." He's looking like a jacked jack. You keep seeing videos of him flexing in front of mirrors and yelling, and he's huge. He recovered quickly. On Michael Bisping's Believe You Me podcast, Smith said, 'It's like, really fast.'

Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen appeared on stage on Monday for the first time since the Brazilian knocked out his old rival back in 2012. Any questions regarding residual tension or animosity were quickly dismissed as the pair joked during Sonnen's pre-fight press conference ahead of his match against Jake Paul next month. Silva took to the mic for the second time as Silva defeated Sonnen for the middleweight championship for the second time.

An old tweet from Paul to Silva in 2012 has resurfaced on the internet, showing that the social media star obtained Silva's autograph at a restaurant in Ohio in 2012. 'Do u remember coming to Ohio at Quaker steak and lube?I got your autograph haha ur the man I'll never forget that stuff!!' In the letter, Paul said dated May 29, 2012. The build-up to Paul and Silva's fight, which is set to take place in Phoenix on October 29th, is expected to be more respectful than the American's previous competitions.

In his victory over Kamaru Usman, Dana White struck out at Chael Sonnen after he said Leon Edwards was a liar. Referee Herb Dean had warned him against dragging his fingers through the fence for control and to improve position, while Usman was dominating grappling battles.' After Sonnen's attention, it was deemed unfair, which White believes is unfair. "He became the champion with a head kick," the UFC president said. He didn't win by grabbing the fence. 'I mean, he was absolutely dominant in the first round except for the few minutes.' He absolutely dominated, and Chael Sonnen's assertion that it was entirely inaccurate.

Tai Tuivasa, the Australian heavyweight, is gearing up for a big clash in Paris against former UFC champion Ciryl Gane, and hasn't touched a drop of alcohol while training for the September 3 match. He's not happy about it, and told Daily Mail Australia Gane is going to get knocked out.
