Chael Sonnen believes that Valentina Shevchenko should have won the bantamweight title “by forfeit” due to champion Amanda Nunes being unable to make it to the Octagon on Saturday night at UFC 213.
Dana White claimed that Nunes was cleared to fight by doctors when she was taken to hospital after falling ill on Saturday morning.
On Sunday, Nunes revealed that she was “not feeling well enough to risk getting punched in the head” as she was suffering with chronic sinusitis.
“I realize my idea would not work, however, I still share the ideology that we should have a forfeit clause,” Chael Sonnen told Ariel Helwani on this week’s edition of The MMA Hour.
