Chael Sonnen is blasting reigning middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis for his choice to attend UFC 300.
The historic UFC 300 happened final Saturday, April thirteenth in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The present UFC middleweight champion, Dricus Du Plessis (21-2 MMA), joined in with different fighters watching all of the occasions unfold, sitting cageside.
Chael Sonnen was working the occasion as an analyst on the ESPN desk.
The unique plan was for ‘Stillknocks’ to get within the cage with Israel Adesanya (24-3 MMA) for a title showdown at UFC 300, however that by no means got here to fruition.
The explanation – Du Plessis was nonetheless sporting an harm following his victory over Sean Strickland (28-6 MMA) at UFC 297.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Chael Sonnen shared his ideas on Du Plessis attending the inaugural occasion:
“Adesanya and Du Plessis had been provided the primary occasion. One among them stated no. Primarily based on interviews, it seems like that was Du Plessis. It’s his profession, and he’s carried out a rattling good job with it. However, when you can’t combat ’trigger you’re sick otherwise you’re harm, don’t come. It was the strangest factor on the earth. And I couldn’t imagine the commentators didn’t name this out… Whether it is true, you’ll be able to’t be there!”
Chael Sonnen, doubled down shaming Dricus Du Plessis for even exhibiting up (h/t MMANews):
“If he’s proper there, he’s neither (sick or injured)! … You simply outed the truth that you made it up. That basically is how I really feel about it. You’re gonna flip the combat down after which what? ‘Hey Dana, can I get a ticket to the combat?’ What?! I couldn’t even think about. This sport is plagued with faux robust guys. Thrice a 12 months is all they’ve gotta play… Might you think about, ‘No Dana, I can’t do the combat. Preserve the cash, I’m gonna maintain the belt, we’ll speak later. Hey, are you able to comp me a ticket?’ Might you even think about? I can’t ’trigger I’ve delight and I’m not a b*tch!”
Clearly Sonnen was not impressed. Do you agree that Du Plessis shouldn’t have proven up at UFC 300 or are you simply inspired that he got here out to help the occasion?
