Moreover, the UFC commentator gave Sonnen’s example, “It was the same when Chael Sonnen had that thing. I didn’t talk about Chael Sonnen because everyone was like “Oh You talk about everything you don’t talk about that” If it’s somebody I know personally and it involves their family then I’m not gonna talk about it. But Dana was talking about it at length yesterday. So I thought well maybe I can say that… No one’s happy about the situation. He certainly is not… And the whole thing is just massively regrettable just be honest…”

Lastly, speaking on the subject, the former UFC middleweight said, “I see you all. What do you want me to do? He’s already said it, you know, as well as anyone could say it to be quite frank.”
