Chael Sonnen says that Dricus du Persis is the most confusing hunter he has ever seen
Chael Sonnen was a fantastic middleweight in itself, with 'the American' gangster who came painfully close to world champion the first time he exchanged leather with Anderson Silva.
Since he retired, he has become a respected analyst, making him the perfect man to discuss the landscape of his old division.
But even he is perplexed by what the ruling king of the 185-pound weight class does in the Achthoek.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Sonnen claimed: “I am just as confused by Dricus du Plessis as everyone in the history of this sport I followed.
“I always thought that Dricus was a better grappler than he was a striker – I am not sure if that is true.
“His kickboxing is not as clean as Israel Adesanya or Alex Pereira – we are not even in the same conversation. But he used those kickboxing to beat Israel Adesanya, who defeated Alex Pereira. How do we just fire him?
“I have seen Dricus Wrestle. He struggled with Sean in the first fight, there was none in the second, but he resented him in the first game and he looked really good.
“He didn't turn or two or to set it up. This guy can struggle, and moreover, nobody is him out of the Wortrest. ”
