Chael Sonnen thinks Ronda Rousey's dominance was manufactured and everyone fell for it. Including himself.
"That division is still so shallow and so new and when the media got behind it, there was so much hype and belief," Sonnen said on ESPN Radio's "The Dan Lebatard Show" on Wednesday. "It's like anything else -- and Dan, I'm not above this, either -- when you hear something enough times, you start to think that it's real."
Sonnen admitted to falling into the same trap. He threw cold water on Holly Holm's boxing background on The MMA Hour last month, saying her titles were not legitimate.
