Chael Sonnen ready to fight ‘overrated’ Jorge Masvidal in boxing match

After fighting to a draw with Anderson Silva this weekend, Chael Sonnen has no plans of slowing down now as he looks to usher in the next phase of his combat sports career.

After the fight, Sonnen wasted no time before cutting a sinister promo on the mic during the post-fight media scrum. Blaming Jorge Masvidal for his foolish business practices and claiming he couldn’t remember the last time Masvidal won a fight.

Chael Sonnen speaks out on impending Jorge Masvidal fight

“It was all just part of the process,” Chael Sonnen began, speaking about the Anderson Silva fight (H/T MMA Fighting). “I box Jorge Masvidal. I got called up for this fight, I accepted this fight, it was all part of the training process and I learned some things tonight. Anderson, when he starts, he’s cheated on me several times, and I don’t like getting caught up in that. I love seeing this kind of thing happen. But I mean, he would move one way and hit you with the other, he would show you his right hand and then hit you with his left. He was very cunning and he was very fast.

“I’m only saying that because this guy is in his 50s. If he cheats on me to the point where he can get his hands on me, I’m going to have to respect Jorge Masvidal a little more than I wanted.”

Despite having already been booked for a fight against Nate Diaz, Masvidal and Sonnen have publicly traded insults on several occasions.

“Masvidal is a little overrated, in all honesty, in his own mind,” Chael Sonnen said. “I don’t remember the last time he won a fight. He threatened me, he told me: “I won’t even use my right hand.” I will put this in the contract. I’m like, ‘OK, stupid, put that in the contract.’ I didn’t ask for this, but go ahead and put it in there. Then he said, “I’ll pay you $10 million.” Well, I didn’t ask for $10 million, but again, stupid, I put that in the contract. Just keep talking.

“It only gets worse for Jorge Masvidal. There are some people you play with, others you don’t; put me in the “don’t do” category. Don’t challenge me unless you want to fight me.
