‘Remember The Show’ hosted by Muhammed and Jason Anik, Jon Anik’s brother, has been a hit with MMA fans. If LeBron James were to make an appearance, fans would unquestionably be happy.

So while Covington has been beefing with James, on the other hand, Muhammad seems to like him. There is yet another UFC personality linked to the basketball player. It turns out former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen too is not fond of James.

In fact, Sonnen had called out the athlete. The call-out seemed to come out of nowhere and this left many fans confused. The incident happened back in 2013.

Sonnen said, (h/t Bleacher Report), “He asked the UFC for tickets for my fight against Anderson Silva. We sit the guy front row, and all through the night he snubs our fans. He’s a guest in our house and he refuses to sign any autographs or take any pictures unless your cup size was later in the alphabet than he was able to learn.”

While this happened around ten years ago, it is unknown if Sonnen’s thoughts about James have changed. However, the NBA star seems to have found a friend in UFC fighter Belal Muhammad.
