Chael Sonnen on when Alex Pereira can be considered a GOAT

Chael Sonnen is never short on hot takes, which have frequently come back to bite him. 'The American Gangster' recently praised Pereira's accomplishments in MMA in such a short time.

Furthermore, the Oregon native stated that if Poatan wins his third title before retiring, the GOAT debate is decidedly over, whether we like it or not.

Here's what Sonnen said on The Ariel Helwani Show:

"I feel like if he wins it at heavyweight, even if he's an interim, you know, he's just trying to fight [Tom] Aspinall at 300 [pounds] for example, if it's an interim or the undisputed. I feel like if he wins a belt at heavyweight and goes, Champ, champ, champ [three division champion] the discussion is over whether we like it or not. We no longer talk about who's the GOAT, We just we refer to Alex... And it is an amazing thing what he did, 36 years old."
