Chael Sonnen CHALLENGES Francis Ngannou, Conor vs Max Bold Prediction, Advice for Dustin Poirier
"He took himself from the pool. That is 100% what they tell you to do. He should have been commended and it should have been used as an example. This is how you handle this. This is how a man handled this. He did everything. That is textbook. That is how you're supposed to do it."
Chael Sonnen strongly defended Conor McGregor against the New York Times articles alleging PED use after his leg injury, stating McGregor followed exact protocol by removing himself from USADA testing while injured and not licensed to fight. Sonnen called the New York Times coverage "scummy" and insisted McGregor handled the situation perfectly by the rules, taking the mandatory six-month penalty to focus on recovery without restrictions.
