Henry Cejudo couldn’t assist however chortle at Chael Sonnen’s speech to Colby Covington after UFC on ESPN 63.

Sonnen cornered Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) in his physician stoppage TKO loss to Joaquin Buckley earlier this month in Tampa, Fla. Covington suffered a reduce on his proper eyelid, which compelled the physician to intervene and cease the combat towards the top of Spherical 3.

That was an important combat and also you fought actually exhausting. You’re in all probability wanting on the bonus on that for the night time. That was actually fairly a conflict you guys simply did. You need to be very pleased with that.”

Cejudo disagrees with every little thing Sonnen needed to say to Covington.

“I wish to discuss Uncle Chael man,” Cejudo mentioned on his YouTube channel. “Uncle Chael is over right here gaslighting Colby Covington, pondering that Colby Covington gained Battle of the Night time, pondering that he’s going to get the subsequent title shot, proper after he will get put out by Joaquin Buckley.”

No. That allows you to know, man: Uncle Chael may promote ice to a rattling Eskimo. Come on, women and gents. Uncle Chael be hyping this dude up such as you wouldn’t imagine. It makes me assume he’s sipping on that Uncle Chael Sonnen Kool-Support pondering he’s all the time proper. However no matter it’s, this to me proper right here is the most effective teaching second.

“I’ve received to provide it to the one and solely Uncle Chael Sonnen: He wins it once more for being the most effective rattling salesman in the whole rattling MMA world. However sadly, Colby Covington didn’t get that rattling bonus. And Chael Sonnen, though he was telling us it was an important combat, tides have been turning – he was fascinated with dropping by the wayside and stopping the rattling combat. I don’t know what to imagine with Chael, however I really like him as a result of he’s going to make you’re feeling good regardless. Is he ‘The Unhealthy Man’ or is he actually the great man?”
