White: Sonnen living his life, doing his thing
Dana White on Chael Sonnen: “He’s laying low man. He’s apologized, and he’s going to live his life, and he’s doing his thing up (in his home state of Oregon).”
Chael Sonnen was scheduled to fight Vitor Belfort at Saturday’s UFC 175, but following two failed out of contest drug tests, he withdrew from the fight, and eventually retired.
UFC president Dana White was asked over the weekend how
“He’s laying low man,” said White. “He’s apologized, and he’s going to live his life, and he’s doing his thing up (in Oregon). I asked him, I said ‘Chael, do you have any money?’ And he said, ‘I have every dollar you ever sent me.’ I said ‘good for you, man. Because that’s a lot of money.'”
Sonnen remains under contract with the UFC, and this will not be showing up soon at a rival promotion.
In other Gangster from Oregon news, retired UFC fighter and current color commentator Brian Stann and Sonnen have apologized to each other, following repeated criticism of Sonnen by Stann on social media.
“Just had a very long conversation w/ @sonnench,” tweeted Stann. “Both apologized to one another, me for publicly criticizing him, him for PEDs. He is owning everything and very sorry, I owned being judgmental vice a friend, he has a long road ahead and I will try to assist. Both of us will use his story to continue towards clean sport in MMA, glad to hear him own it.”
