The 44-year-old has now spoken about Ciryl Gane’s highly anticipated title unification matchup against UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
‘The American Gangster’ suggested that while the Ngannou-Gane fight wasn’t as big of a deal a couple of weeks back, it’s become a must-see fight after UFC 265.
In an episode of Beyond the Fight on his YouTube channel, Chael Sonnen stated:
Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl Gane – A clash of former training partners
During their time as up-and-coming heavyweights, Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane trained under the tutelage of MMA Factory head coach Fernand Lopez in France.
Presently, Ngannou trains with Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, while Gane still trains with Lopez at the MMA Factory in France.
The two former training partners are expected to clash in a title unification bout. The winner will walk away as the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion.
