Shawl Sonnen talks about the lack of respect towards Jamin Sterling
Chael Sonnen shared in his own thread YouTube channelAnd he admitted that it’s not just the UFC that’s at fault. He shared his belief that fans and critics are also to blame (h/t MMAJunkie.com).
“There are certain things Aljo would like to take credit for, and rightly so,” said Sonnen. “I’ve never seen a world champion look more snubbed, and that’s nothing new. You guys got your craziness in the contest over Aljo the night he won the world championship via disqualification. You weren’t just the spectator. The critics did it to him, too.”

With that said, the former UFC title challenger believed Cejudo had been brought in to take down Sterling, but Aljo had other plans.
“We can bring in the greatest and most decorated combat athlete in the history of time. … If we do that, we bring back Cejudo, get rid of Aljo, and the world can then be fixed. Aljo didn’t follow the script,” Sonnen said. “Rather than appreciate it, we decided that We get angry and decide to be mean to him. And we decided to hurt the feelings of the world champion.
