Keep an eye on the announcement made by Jorge masvidal on his social networks, where he announces that he is returning from retirement, Chael Sonnen quickly suggested confrontation to his compatriot. Aware that ‘Jesus das Ruas’ was the holder of the BMF belt before hanging up his gloves, the commentator stated that the ideal duel would be against Justin Gaetheje, who became his successor on the throne.

"Jorge masvidal tweeted that he is unretired. Who would he fight and where? He would have to have a massively marketable idea to do this. It's a one in a million opportunity. There's a one in a million chance he'll come back. And if he put it all together, had everything planned, made a deal behind the scenes, it would have to be him against (Justin) Gaethje, at welterweight, for the BMF (title), declared Sonnen on his channel YouTube.

As he continued his speech, Chael suggested the path that Masvidal should follow to improve his career.

“The only way to make up for his retirement or make up for the record discrepancy is if you spot the weight and move Gaethje to welterweight,” he concluded.
