MMA legend Chael Sonnen isn’t very happy with Tyson Fury making the boxing matchup with Francis Ngannou.
You’re a bully, and you’re a scumbag: Chael Sonnen tells Tyson Fury
Fury, the reigning WBC heavyweight champion, is set to take on Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champ who is currently signed under the PFL banner, in a super fight this 28th October in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the WBC title of “The Gypsy King” will not be at stake.
Details have been scars regarding this fight, but one thing combat sports fans are certain is that Fury vs. Ngannou will be a gargantual payday for “The Predator”, who earlier had fallouts with the UFC regarding his contract renewal, before fighting out of his contract and later joining PFL.
In the meantime, former UFC and Bellator fighter Chael Sonnen commented his opinion regarding the Fury vs. Ngannou fight. Speaking to The Schmo, “The American Gangster” stated that he believes Fury took the fight because it will be a walk in the park for him, and also called him a “bully” and “scumbag” for choosing to fight against Ngannou who has no professional experience in the squared circle.
“What kind of a scumbag is Fury, though, man? I really gotta tell you, Fury broke my heart. I liked this guy, and I liked the entertainment. I like so many things about him,” said Sonnen. “You take a guy like Fury, who God made huge, gave great coaches, great training partners, great experiences, too. He has weapons and tools that other men can’t deal with if they’re not armed. And he’s going to choose to use those to beat up a guy who’s at least 37 with no experience and is on one leg.”
“That’s a bully, and it’s a scumbag. I would never do that to somebody…Jesse James made a lot of money, and there’s hitmen that made a lot of money. I mean, there’s things that you can do, but you own it. You’re a bully, and you’re a scumbag,” he added. [H/T MMA Mania]
