Sonnen posted a video on his YouTube channel talking about the rumors regarding the rematch between the two superstars. In one segment, he mentioned how “weird” it was for the two to talk secretly and tried to finalize a deal without revealing information to the public.
Sonnen said, “Look, I’m sure that Conor and Floyd have made contact with one another. That’s a little weird.” He added, “Every idea starts somewhere, and you got to kind of get it going, but if you and a guy are talking, that’s the one thing that you make sure that nobody knows.”
Chael Sonnen further explained his point and stated, “If you and a guy talk, you go work out a deal. And you decide you’re going to go to the public or you’re going to go to the promoter. Absolutely nobody can know that you and that guy have spoke ever. That would be very weird. That would be a huge letdown.”
