Chael Sonnen wants to fight Jorge Masvidal next and the ‘Bad Guy’ has already started with the mind games. In a humorous retort, the former middleweight title contender has claimed that if punching was a god-given power, Jorge Masvidal was an atheist.
The UFC veteran is fresh off a draw in his first boxing match since retiring from the UFC years ago. He fought Anderson Silva in their trilogy fight which ended up in a draw.
Despite the widespread criticism of that fight with ‘pillows for hands’ comments from fans, Sonnen seems to have taken his sights on the former BMF champion. In a recent tweet, he made fun of ‘Gamebred’ for not having any punching power in the most Uncle Chael way possible.
“They say punching power is God Given. This explains why Masvidal is an Atheist.”

Sonnen sure does have the gift of the gab, but Masvidal has a temper to be reckoned with. After the latter’s failed attempt to have a good fight against Colby Covington, Masvidal had reportedly sucker punched him outside the arena.
And even though throughout the fight, the former BMF champ was dominated, he still wants to “rip his head off“.
However, right now, Chael Sonnen might be the last person on Masvidal’s mind since it’s Nate Diaz who he’s fighting in a boxing ring soon. A win over Diaz could open up a conversation about the Sonnen fight.
Meanwhile, Sonnen’s son has accused his dad of going hard enough against Anderson Silva
Thero Sonnen calls out father Chael for not going hard against Anderson Silva
Thero Sonnen seems to have inherited his way with words and the media seems to love him for it. In an interview following his fight against Anderson Silva, Chael’s son spoke about how his father didn’t go hard enough to win the bout and said,
“I thought you could have done a little bit harder because it felt like you were going a little bit soft all of the rounds.”

Safe to say, Thero Sonnen is exactly like his father, straight to the point, and doesn’t care if he hurts your feelings. Chael Sonnen’s son even went viral during fight week when he reminded his father to ‘cheat’ in his fight against Silva.
