Chael Sonnen has recently been taking a deep dive on the latter years of his UFC career and has said that his biggest mistake was calling out this UFC champion.
Sonnen has fought some of the worlds greatest talents in his UFC career but a few callouts have been a mistake.
The UFC’s best trash talker was recently talking alongside Daniel Cormier on there Youtube show, Good Guy and Bad Guy, about each others worst ever callouts.
Chael Sonnen chose this ex UFC champion as his worst mistake when calling another fighter out.
Chael Sonnen Reveals This Man as the Worst Callout
“I was going after Tito [Ortiz] back in the day. And as my way to get to Tito, I put a plan together that it was going to go through Frank Shamrock,” Sonnen said. “I had signs made where we would march around just like it was a campaign for office…the folks that made me the signs, misspelled ‘Frank Shamrock’. And then I was just a doofus! I saw those signs ahead of time, that night in the locker room. But it was still a choice: do we do this?
“I elected to do it and frankly, when the name is misspelled, I should’ve just left those signs in the back.”
Despite this being Chael Sonnen’s biggest mistake the two met in the cage back in 2017 at Bellator.
The fight ended just as badly as the callout has aged with Tito winning via a rear naked choke in the very first round but despite the loss Sonnen bounced back with a win over Wanderlei Silva and Rampage Jackson.
Sonnen retired two years after the fight with Tito following a loss to Lyoto Machida.
Chael Sonnen is now a regular on the UFC broadcast and has just this summer been inducted into the UFC hall of fame for his contributions to the company.
