A video of Bellator heavyweight Chael Sonnen getting flirtatious with a mixed martial arts reporter has made its way to the internet for all to see.
Back at Bellator 180, Sonnen was set to headline in a match up against MMA legend Wanderlei Silva. Fedor Emelianenko and Matt Mitrione also threw down on the night’s card.
During a press conference leading up to the fight, Chael Sonnen had an infamous moment with reporter Agripina Carretero de la Hoz. The journalist asked Sonnen a question, but found it difficult to merit a response to the inquiry from the fighter.
Rather, Sonnen called Carretero de la Hoz a “sweet potato” and stated that he was “distracted.” Sonnen then revealed that he feels “pretty excited.”
The awkward moment can be seen within the video above.
