chael words of wisdom
"Yea, I do," Sonnen told Michael Landsberg on TSN's Off the Record. "I want to be responsible with my words because a guy's health comes first but that story is extremely fugazi. Two different x-rays came out. Five different stories came out. His coach says he doesn't want to coach him anymore.
"Jose says he doesn't want to be in the weight class anymore and his own teammate, after he injures him, goes on a media tour telling everybody how he did it. That was a weird, weird deal."
McGregor managed to TKO late replacement Chad Mendes after being taken down four times in just two rounds, paving the way for an even bigger event with Aldo later this year.
UFC president Dana White has insisted that fight would take place in Las Vegas, but rumors swirled July 16 that brass were interested in AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Unfortunately, Sonnen doesn't see the fight ever coming together.
"Well, our president Dana White is a gambler," said Sonnen. "I think he will gamble and throw down a bunch of money and try to put it together again. No, I don't imagine ... I don't know why [Aldo and McGregor] would [fight]. It's not going to be bigger than it just was [at UFC 189] and Jose just didn't show up.
"What's the expression? 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.' Come on. Jose Aldo's pulled out of five fights. The guy's an excellent fighter. I'm not trying to kick a guy when he's down, but that's a bunch of crap what he just pulled."
Well spoken Chael
