Sonnen: ‘Ronda was just a bully … Never a real fighter!’

Chael Sonnen is gearing up for a grudge match main event with mixed martial arts legend Wanderlei Silva at Bellator 180. In anticipation for the event, Sonnen has decided to partake in an interview with Flo Combat.

In the interview, Chael Sonnen had a few choice words concerning his opponent, as well as former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

After calling Wanderlei Silva a bully, Sonnen decided to shift his attention to Ronda Rousey. The fighter told Flo Combat,

“I read some stuff that Ronda put out, and I’m a personal fan of hers, but I was stunned at some of the stuff I read. It had me sitting there saying, ‘Ronda, you’re not a fighter. You understand one thing and that’s aggression. When someone is standing there who sucks, you understand how to attack that person. That is called aggression.’

“Fighting is when it’s hard. Fighting is when that person is coming back at you with equal or greater resistance. That’s what a fighter is, and when it doesn’t go your way and you want to stay in bed in the morning, when that alarm goes off you get your ass up, put your boots on and you go face the world. That’s what a fighter does.”
