Chael Sonnen’s advice to Conor McGregor in spat with Dana White: ‘Don’t go into promoting game’

Three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen did a lot of beefing with opponents inside and out of the cage. You never saw him take a shot at his promoter, though, and there’s a reason for that.

Watching Conor McGregor’s most recent kerfuffle with UFC President Dana White, Sonnen thinks the former two-division champ is doing the exact opposite of the smart thing and ultimately will end up harming himself if he pursues a charity boxing match with Dustin Poirier.

“I wish Conor the best, but if I could give Conor any advice, and I’ve given him plenty over the years – do not go into the promoting game,” Sonnen told MMA Fighting.
