As soon as Rogério Minotouro was removed from combat in the face of Alexander Gustafson, due to a back injury, Chael Sonnen He wasted no time and turned his provocations against the Brazilian. The controversial North American used his Twitter account to send several provocative messages to his brother Rodrigo Minotauro
In a series of various publications, Chael compares Rogerio to Axl Rose (lead singer of the band Guns N' Roses), stating that he appears less in the Octagon than the lead singer in his band's performances and says that the Tupiniquim black belt 'fights less than Ghandi'. Check out the messages from Sonnen below:
“Minotouro: the only man who shows up to shows less than Axl Rose”.
“He fights less than Gandhi.”
“For sale: MMA gloves. Never used. Contact Minotouro. Rua das Fragiles Galinahs, Brazil”
“He gets hurt more than John Knoxville (actor from the series Jack Ass).”
“He signs his contracts in invisible ink.”
“It’s a shame he can’t include his profession as a ‘runaway fighter’ on his tax return.”
“Maybe Cigano can lend his heart to Minotouro while his face improves.”
“He is the Carmen Sandiego (character from a video game who transports himself to different places) of MMA”
“It’s Halloween. Minotouro dressed up as a fighter. But he didn’t cheat anyone and he didn’t get any sweets.”
Despite Sonnen's provocations, injuries have haunted Minotouro's career in the UFC. The Brazilian spent the entire year of 2012 without fighting and only performed once in 2013 – in February, when he beat Rashad evans. Furthermore, a back problem has ruled Rogério out of a clash for the second time in a row. Previously, he was scheduled to face Mauricio Shogun, in June, at UFC 161.
