Chael Sonnen Claims Fighters Aren’t Truthful To The Media About Their Fights

In the latest in his ‘Chael’s Corner’ series on Fuel TV’s ‘UFC Tonight’ show, current middleweight No.1 contender Chael Sonnen sounds off regarding his belief that fighters aren’t exactly being truthful in their interactions with the media about their fights.

Here’s some of the examples Sonnen offers up as to what fighter’s say, and what they actually mean.

“I don’t want to leave it in the hands of the judges” = “I didn’t train to go three rounds.”

“I’m surrounded by a new team and camp” = “All my old friends abandoned me.”

“I need to be in training camp in seclusion” = “My wife and kids are driving me nuts.”
