It is not today that Conor McGregor He is one of the most challenged athletes among the entire UFC squad, mainly due to the financial potential that exists in a fight against the Irishman. For Chael Sonnen, however, many of these challenges only began to occur after the serious injury suffered by the Irishman during the trilogy against Dustin poirier, in July last year.

Former challenger for the middleweight (up to 83,9 kg) and light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) belts and current commentator, Chael Sonnen questioned where the courage of the fighters was to challenge Conor McGregor when the Irishman was healthy and available to fight.

“Where was his courage when he was cleared to fight? Where was his courage when he was healthy? Where was his courage when he was in his weight division? Where was it?” asked Sonnen on his YouTube channel.

Chael Sonnen made it clear, however, that it does not refer to all athletes who challenged Conor McGregor in your questioning. The North American “acquitted” names like Nate diaz, Jorge masvidal e Khabib Nurmagomedov.

PUBLICITY:

“If your name is Nate diaz, I'm not talking with you. If your name is Tony Ferguson, I'm not talking with you. If your name is Khabib Nurmagomedov, I'm not talking with you. Some of you did your parts or were really willing to do your part, it's true. But now, out of nowhere, I have 12 guys I can point to who went on Twitter and found shit. Where were they before his leg snapped? It’s a fair question asked by me”, he concluded.
