In one iteration of his ESPN show, The Chael Sonnen Show, ‘The American Gangster; claimed that Adesanya vs. Whittaker 2 was a really close decision and he even thought that ‘The Reaper’ would come out as the champion.
“Very close match and in all fairness, I thought that we are gonna have a new champion. When that fight had concluded, I thought Robert Whittaker had won 3 rounds to 2 and possibly, 4 rounds to 2,” Sonnen said.
In his UFC days, Chael Sonnen was known for his ultimate trash talking skills, a skill that swiftly became his brand. Although Sonnen gets a lot of heat for it, he prefers to remain in his humorous and sarcastic persona.
