What was said
"I want to challenge and put my beef to rest with Francis Enano on your show one year from today in an arm wrestling match. We just put this to rest. Nobody gets hurt. And I show him the hard way why you don't piss off a gangster."
Chael Sonnen publicly challenged Francis Ngannou to settle their longstanding feud with an arm wrestling match live on Ariel Helwani's show in July 2027. Sonnen described their beef as escalating from business disagreements and stated he wants to squash it without anyone getting hurt. He proposed a one-and-done, right-arm-only match styled after the 1988 film Over The Top.
