What Chael Sonnen said about Joe Rogan

The UFC legend Chael Sonnen in his latest YT video came in support of Joe Rogan. While the basic theme of the video was to talk about his own childhood bully, who he dealt with during his ‘sophomore’ years, Sonnen also touched upon the Rogan-Spotify controversy.

He said, “I remember when Joe went through that scam they were pulling. That terrible thing that they tried to do to Joe. But I do remember when they did that.”

45-year-old described the possible repercussions of the situation. He continued and added, “Anybody else had been in Joe’s spot, there were threats. ‘I’m gonna kick your b*tt’. You know you hear things like this. There’s death threats from some really cowardly guy on the internet but this is very constant.”

However, the submission-grappler felt a sense of relief when nothing of such sort happened to the UFC commentator.
