Big MMA fan, Chael Sonnen demonstrates having his favorite confrontations in mind. Aware that Alexander Volkanovsky wants to return to winning ways and fight again, the commentator did not hesitate to point out the ideal matchup for the Australian next. In the veteran's view, the former champion should return to lightweight (up to 70,3kg) and face Charles of the Bronx.

“You want to know what I want for Volkanovski? I want him at 70 pounds. And I don’t want to talk about titles right now. I want to see an incredible fight. I want to see Volk and Charles of the Bronx “At lightweight. I also think that, in terms of results, I think you’re in a higher place whether you beat Charles or not. If you fight for the title and you get beat, that’s never coming back. That hope and that dream is gone forever, forever. It’s gotten to the point where, unless you want to be a ‘gatekeeper’ in some way, here are your exit roles. That would be so serious in a title fight. That wouldn’t be the case at lightweight against Charles,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel. YouTube.
