Despite being retired from MMA, former multi-division title challenger Chael Sonnen is still a busy man. Besides being an analyst for ESPN and competing in grappling matches, he has his own podcast and has taken the time to be a guest on other ones as well (like the Three Amigos Podcast with BE's own Steph Daniels, Mookie Alexander, and Iain Kidd). This time around he was a guest on Jon Anik and Kenny Florian's new show, and unsurprisingly had some interesting stuff to say.

First, he commented on a possible return to MMA (it should be noted that he's under suspension for a while longer, but still):

"As far as MMA goes, man, I think I ran my race. I've got some good memories and I think that's where that ends."

On Daniel Cormier's light heavyweight title win at UFC 187:

"I thought it was inspiring. One because I'm a wrestler so I'm always excited to see wrestling do well. Like, anybody that comes from an art form and then they go on to become a guy that becomes champion. But two, he won one for the old guys. Hey, Kenny [Florian] I'm sure you can relate, but when a guy that age, 36, 37 years old, comes out and wins the world championship it makes us feel young again. It makes you feel like the world doesn't just belong to 18 to 25 year olds."

With that in mind though, he joked that former champion Jon Jones defeated Cormier drunk and high on cocaine, and believes that the result would be no different the second time around.

"Every time I've ever had a defeat that's what I've thought, give me one more shot, let me try this again. Except against Jon Jones. After I fought Jon Jones I was like, I get it. I'm good, I get it, go enjoy your run, I'll be over in the corner with the dunce cap on. That's what I thought. Jon Jones is just another deal, man."

Sonnen next venture into grappling will take place at the ADCCs in August.
