Chael Sonnen Explains Offending Chuck Liddell: He Came Through The Competition Era- And we’re in the Entertainment Era Now

Chael Sonnen Explains Offending Chuck Liddell:  He Came Through The Competition Era- And we’re in the Entertainment Era Now

 

 

Chael Sonnen might be 40 but he’s not showing much sign of slowing down. Just past summer he was entered in the ADCC absolute bracket!

Still he’s no stranger to altercations and he’s had one with UFC hall of famer Chuck Liddell just recently. Here’s how Chael described it:

 

Sonnen made an appearance on NFL Network’s “The Rich Eisen Show” and was asked to leave a message for Liddell, who would be on the show today. Of course, he didn’t leave the friendliest of messages, making fun of Liddell’s trademark mohawk.

 “Turns out, old Chuck was in the back, watching it in the back with my mother,” Sonnen told reporters at today’s media day for his heavyweight grand prix bout, which co-headlines the Paramount-televised event Saturday at The Forum. “So my mom and uncle had to get involved, and it was just a big colossal nightmare.”

“I don’t think there’s anything there,” he said. “I don’t think he’s going to fight again. I didn’t ask him point blank, because we were too busy yelling at one other. He looked like he was in shape.”

“Chuck is seemingly a very nice guy,” he said. “But he came through the competition era. And we’re in the entertainment era. Some of those guys, they get offended a little easier. The table they helped set, and he did in fairness, has changed. They feel like it changes their legacy, and they feel left out.

“Let him be pissed. What do I care about Chuck’s feelings?”
