Former 185-pound title contender Chael Sonnen believes Robert Whittaker won ‘four rounds to two’ in his rematch with Israel Adesanya at UFC 271.

Former UFC middleweight, Chael Sonnen found success as an MMA analyst after his remarkable career in the Las Vegas-based promotion and a brief stint with Bellator. Since then, he has been hosting his own show with ESPN MMA and runs a YouTube channel, where he analyzes all the latest happenings in the MMA space.

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. Just a week ago, UFC judge Sal D’Amato also faced MMA fans’ wrath for his erratic judgment in Sean Strickland‘s fight against Jack Hermansson.

That said, even Robert Whittaker himself conceded defeat against ‘The Last Stylebender’ and is already looking forward to a trilogy.
