Chael Sonnen reacts to Khamzat Chimaev looking huge in latest social media post
Chael Sonnen was amazed at Khamzat Chimaev's latest physique photo. The Swedish Mixed Martial Artist recently posted a black-and-white photo of himself on social media which was slightly edited to make the photo darker and accentuate his shoulders. Nevertheless, the welterweight fighter looks bigger and more muscular than ever, prompting fans to think he is going up in weight.
Chael Sonnen reacted to the photo in a recent YouTube video saying:
"You took that photo and you posted it attempting to tell the viewer a story. What is the story you're attempting to tell? And I have a guess, which is, the story is this is a middleweight. This is a middleweight who is hitting resistance going up to middleweight. Where is that resistance coming from? Is that from the fans, is that from the promotion side, is that within his own team?"
Chael Sonnen believes Khamzat Chimaev is trying to go up in weight but is facing a lot of resistance to the move from various places. In his last fight against Kein Holland, he fought at a catchweight which was closer to the middleweight limit than to the welterweight limit. Fans believe 'Borz' is looking to take his talents up to the middleweight division.

Chael Sonnen reacts to Ariel Helwani asking PFL to make Jake Paul the face of the company
Jake Paul recently announced that he was signed with the PFL and also now owns a stake in their new PPV division. Following the announcement, Ariel Helwani came up with a suggestion: that the company should make 'The Problem Child' the face of their company. In a recent video where he addressed Paul signing with the PFL, Chael Sonnen spoke about Helwani's idea:
"Jake does command media. Jake can go head-to-head on a microphone in a room full of ideas better than most. Airiel's correct, that's very exciting potentially, I personally would enjoy that. If I could count on Jake Paul to have a press conference roughly once a week, for sure twice a month, that would be a cool thing I must admit."
Chael Sonnen also agrees with Ariel Helwani about Jake Paul being the face of the business. However, 'The Problem Child' will be more focused on his MMA career as he looks to make his debut.
Chael Sonnen is still ok with Jake Paul pulling opponents from the MMA world 🌎
