Chael Sonnen praises Alex Pereira's consistency

Following the events of UFC 307, Chael Sonnen spoke on the rise of Alex Pereira on his YouTube Channel. Sonnen praised 'Poatan's' recent activity and even went on to say that "we have never seen anything like it."

He further went on to emphasise Pereira's willingness to fight, and compared the light heavyweight king's situation to those of Conor McGregor and Jon Jones, who are, arguably, the biggest stars in the sport.

He said:

You can’t get these guys to make the walk. You can’t get Conor [McGregor] to make the walk. Jon [Jones] will go and sit out for three years, come back for one, sit another year and a half. You can’t get guys with money to wanna got to work. That’s all this guy wants to do, and he wants to do it against the absolute hardest guys that put him in the most danger most jeopardy. It’s really interesting, we’ve never seen anything quite like it.”
