Close to having his first title fight in Ultimate, Sean O'Malley prepare to face aljamain sterling this Saturday (12). With an eye on promoting the long-awaited meeting, Chael Sonnen praised the stance that the UFC star has taken and highlighted the story that 'Suga' created behind the confrontation. According to the commentator, there was great progress on the part of the challenger.

“Sean's way of building and promoting this fight has been very different from the way Sean chose this fight, and I appreciate that. If you listen to Sean five months ago, he has nothing good to say about Aljo. If you watch the confrontation when Merab stole his coat, it solidified and created this confrontation,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel. YouTube.

During his speech, Sonnen reinforced his admiration for Sean.

“I think 'Sugar' Sean is showing who he is, how he feels. He's been very positive about Aljo, and I think Sean is really someone to look out for. He does everything right and works really hard these three times a year that he's competing, but he works really hard the other 362 days as well. I like the way he is promoting the fight. I don't think he needs to say anything bad about Aljo. Not to mention if you start talking bad about Aljo, you won’t be telling the truth,” he concluded.
