Chael Sonnen has gone on an astonishing rant aimed in the direction of Alex Pereira and Francis Ngannou.
‘The American Gangster’ is never one to shy away from engaging in a war of words.
Recently, Sonnen explained why he’s still embarrassed to have lost to Tito Ortiz, in what made for a brutal swipe at ‘The Huntington Beach Bad Boy’.
And now, he’s set his sights on two of the most devastating punchers in combat sports history.

Chael Sonnen makes bizarre threat to Francis Ngannou and Alex Pereira
Chael Sonnen is undoubtedly one of the best trash talkers to have ever lived, with his witty one-liners still adored by fans to this very day.
While he’s now happily retired from competition, he’s not opposed to throwing out the odd verbal jab every now and then.
During a recent interview with Submission Radio, he reminded everyone of just how amusing he can be, with a verbal onslaught, that, while potentially intended for no purpose other than providing humor, will still likely capture Francis Ngannou and Alex Pereira’s attention.
The American said: “Can I tell you something? You started this journey down what would’ve happened lane, with a tweet from a fan, that asked, if I could’ve fought anybody, and that answer would be easy, it would be Francis Ngannou, that mouthy little p—-.
“I have to tell you this, he’s a very big man, and I can’t say that he’s picking on somebody out of his prime.
“We’re very close to the same age. I am almost 50, he’s almost 50. They list him at 36, one thing we can agree on, he’s at least 36. Nobody knows how old Francis is, number one.
“Number two, he’s a bigger man than me. It doesn’t matter if that’s in the playground or not—the fourth grader should not be bullying the first grader. They just should not do that.
“I will take his bigness, I will shove it right up his a–. How dare Francis Ngannou, as an active athlete, come to a mere commentator, who’s just sitting back and doing his best to observe something and then speak on it.
“Another one, if I don’t get Chama, I’ve got two gators, one for each of their nuts—-.
“I would drop Francis with a n– shot, I would drop Pereira with a n– shot. I’d walk off laughing and go right about my day, like they weren’t even lying there crying, ‘Mr Sonnen, Why’? ‘Chama, that’s why’.”
Chael Sonnen makes major complaint about the way Alex Pereira trains
While Sonnen’s threats may have been empty, this isn’t the first time he’s voiced his displeasure at ‘Poatan’.
Since hanging up the gloves, the Oregon grappler has become a well-respected analyst.
Utilizing his sporting IQ and eloquent vocabulary, he’s able to provide fascinating breakdowns.
In addition, he’s also able to notice things in training that he doesn’t like, with Sonnen recently expressing his concerns about Pereira.
