Conor McGregor vs. Jorge Masvidal? ‘Now is the time’, says Chael Sonnen
Chael Sonnen speaks with fans at a UFC press conference on May 23, 2014 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.The dust has settled from UFC 272, and Chael Sonnen has the perfect fight to make for Jorge Masvidal following ‘Gamebred’s’ lopsided decision defeat to Colby Covington on Saturday.
Speaking on The Chael Sonnen Show (h/t MMA Mania), the self-proclaimed ‘American Gangster’ explained why he thinks Conor McGregor is the perfect opponent for Masvidal now that ‘The Notorious’ walks around at 194 pounds.
“People are just forgetting, they’re taking Dana [White] at his word when he said he’d never make the fight,” Sonnen said. “Well, that was because he (Masvidal) was too big.”
