Barnett On Metamoris 7 vs Chael Sonnen: ‘I’ll Give Him a Free Private Lesson’

Barnett On Metamoris 7 vs Chael Sonnen: ‘I’ll Give Him a Free Private Lesson’

 

Chael Sonnen surprised a lot of people earlier this week when he announced that he will be competing in Metamoris 7 in November against the much bigger Josh Barnett:

“I’ll even give you gentlemen a prediction: Sonnen wins. I’m going to take his fat ass down and he will never get up. And let him know I said that. I’m going to take Josh down and then I’m going to whisper in his ear, ‘welcome to the next 20 minutes of your life’.”

Chael Sonnen last competed in Metamoris 6 where he had an uneventful draw with Renato Babalu Sobral. Sonnen spent most of the match in Babalu’s guard.

Barnett is set to fight Roy Nelson in the UFC on Sept. 26 in Saitama, Japan.

Barnett answered the American Gangster and said that he had no contract with Metamoris and that he wasn’t even interested. Barnett told Jon Anik and Kenny Florian (via MMA Fighting)

“There’s no contract, nothing has been signed on my end. I couldn’t think of a worse thing than to be anywhere with Chael Sonnen for 20 minutes. I would be embarrassed to let it go that long, to be perfectly honest.”

“It wouldn’t be a match. Maybe I’ll lock him up in a few different things and let him go. Just keep going and give him a free private lesson that he got paid for.”

Furthermore, Barnett’s manager Leland Lebarre said:

“Josh has no plans to wrestle Chael at the upcoming Metamoris or any future plans to compete at Metamoris. Period,”

Josh Barnett fights exclusively for the UFC and Mr. White, Mr. Fertitta and Mr. Silva. Anything ancillary is just that. Josh fights Roy Nelson in a week and a half.”

Let’s wait and see…
