WATCH: Why Chael Sonnen believes Dustin Poirier is taking on Justin Gaethje?
Chael Sonnen, the former UFC middleweight title challenger, is known for his outspoken and unapologetic personality in the world of MMA. Recently, he shared his thoughts on one of the biggest topics in the sport this week – the highly anticipated rematch between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje.
Talking about them in his latest YouTube video he stated, “Somewhere within themselves they decided that the business was not settled in the first match. I don’t know what it is. You don’t see Justin Gaethje get worked up so often but don’t feel Gaethje go back to the well tried to fight someone who he already had. When this fight got announced they weren’t just thrown out there. Why are they fighting? I don’t know if the bounce that the winner gets is equal to the drop that the loser is going to feel.”

He added, “All of it changes when you put in a BMF title. Every single word I just said changes. I’m talking about two guys, one of them is not guaranteed an opportunity, one of them is guaranteed to not have an opportunity. Right? I’m talking about stakes. They both have the opportunity now. It’s so nice to see BMF Back.”
Chael Sonnen’s insight into the Poirier vs. Gaethje rematch sheds light on the significance of adding the BMF title to the mix. With both fighters hungry to settle the score, Sonnen observes that the stakes are now higher, as the BMF title ensures that both contenders have an equal opportunity to walk away victorious. His analysis highlights the importance of adding an extra layer of excitement to the already highly anticipated rematch.
