Chael Sonnen criticizes boxers and suggests tournament to determine Jake Paul’s rival

Chael Sonnen criticized boxers who suddenly started calling Jake Paul with fight proposals. The former UFC belt contender suggested a tournament of contenders.

Two weeks ago Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson after a unanimous decision by the judges. The American reached for the biggest triumph of his career to date. The boxing gala in Arlington on the Netflix platform was watched by 65 million people, according to preliminary figures, although it is estimated that the total gathered more than 100 million viewers in the first 24 hours.

Shortly after the fight, more well-known fighters began to challenge Jake Paul. This situation did not please Chael Sonnen, a retired MMA fighter who faced the chance to fight for a world title many times during his long career. Sonnen, who has faced some of the biggest names in the MMA world in several different weight classes, strongly criticized the boxers.

– Those fistfighters who have suddenly found their balls and are grandly ready to fight Jake should burn with shame. None of those who previously did not want to fight him should now have the right to solicit a duel with Paul.

– In recent years, many whackos have turned down offers and claimed that Jake Paul is a nobody. Then they didn’t want to fight him because they didn’t know his level, and now suddenly they are interested? Because he is good and guarantees big money.

Chael Sonnen was quick to suggest a suitable solution. According to the Oregon Gangster, a tournament should be held to determine a contender to fight Paul.

– Let me make a suggestion. You need to organize a tournament to determine the next rival for Jake. It seems to me that this can attract many fans and enjoy the interest. This is a system that encourages fans to follow the rivalry. Recall how it was with The Ultimate Fighter in the beginning and how many people watched the show. Now you have to take Carl Froch, Antonio Tarver, David Benavidez, Ryan Garcia and a few other guys who want to suddenly fight Jake. Let them fight among themselves, and the best one will get his chance to duel Paul.
