Chael Sonnen He has high morale within the UFC. The organization's president, Dana White, was full of praise and stated that the loudmouth American would be the ideal name if he needed to choose someone to replace him at the head of the company.
"I Think Chael Sonnen it would be fantastic for that”, commented the director, according to the UFC’s official website. “Chael is a passionate guy. He knows and loves this sport like few others. But that wouldn't be something for now. He has so many opportunities right now that it would be difficult to accept the job. Everything has its time,” he continued.
However, White recognized that possible exaggerations in Sonnen's provocations could be a hindrance. “The problem is that he exaggerates too much. A lot of times you don’t understand right away whether his actions are real or not,” said White.
Inside the octagon, White has nothing to complain about Sonnen. “He never turns down a fight, he’s crazy. It doesn't matter who it is. I can call him tomorrow and tell him he's going to face Cain [Velasquez, heavyweight champion], he'll accept it. He’s the best, man,” he concluded.
Sonnen already has a commitment within the UFC. On July 5th, at UFC 175, he will face Vitor belfort in Las Vegas (United States). Your original opponent, Wanderlei Silva, was removed from the fight after not receiving the license to fight last week.
