With three finishes in four fights, the UFC and ESPN had some time to kill between the early prelims and the prelims of UFC 265. With that, the production team threw the broadcast to the trio of Megan Olivi, Chael Sonnen and Max Kellerman. Things did not go well for that trio as Sonnen decided he was just going to straight up lie on the broadcast.
“Derrick Lewis has never been knocked down,” said Sonnen, who was seated directly behind the UFC/ESPN logo on the broadcast set. “Derrick Lewis has never been finished.”
Neither of those claims was remotely true, and both were embarrassing for Sonnen, the UFC and ESPN.
