‘The American Gangster’ evidently liked the punch from Taylor as he iterated, “It was a good punch”. He also went on to say, If you want to grade the punch, it was fast, it was accurate, he did it with a lot of distractions, it was hard, hell.”

Chael Sonnen appreciated Dillon Danis for absorbing the hard hit

Sonnen probably didn’t have an idea that Taylor was a professional boxer and also an ex-Bellator MMA fighter. He stated, “And the guy hit him harder than hell”. Sonnen himself had fought in the Bellator MMA. He probably knows how it feels to be on the receiving end of such a hard hit.
