Sonnen claims he'll fight Barnett at Metamoris, Barnett wants to teach him a lesson

Two of the most charismatic figures in the fight game already trade verbal shots to promote a potential grappling match at Metamoris, that isn't even signed yet.

Former UFC competitor Chael Sonnen stated in an interview with Submission Radio that he is set to face Josh Barnett at the next Metamoris event, which takes place at the end of October or beginning of November. In fact, he already predicted how the match will play out. He promised to win by taking Barnett's "fat ass down" so he will "never get up". "And then I'm going to whisper in his ear, `Welcome to the next 20 minutes of your life'," Sonnen said in the interview which you can listen to above.
