Chael Sonnen questions the legitimacy of Amanda Serrano’s claims of acing every combat sports field she participated. Amanda Serrano recently shared a post of her participating in three different combat sports including Jiu Jitsu, MMA, and boxing. 

In the caption, Serrano flexed how she has done great in all three of them and reached the highest point. “3 Different Sports 1 Outcome I’m Blessed!,” mentioned Serrano. Chael Sonnen took this opportunity to share the tweet and ask fans if Serrano’s claims are real or not. “Guys, is this legit? Did this athlete excel in all three sports or is this a troll job?,” Wrote Sonnen. 

Serrano has ruled the boxing world for years now and has the world record for the most boxing championships won in different weight classes by a female boxer, having held 9 major world titles across seven weight classes. In the past she used to compete in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and has fought professional MMA fights with a 2-0 record.

Amanda Serrano has fought three MMA fights in promotions such as Combat and iKON Fighting Federation. In three fights, Serrano won two fights via submission. This shows her grappling abilities that came from her Jiu-Jitsu training. 

While talking about her MMA career, Serrano once said: “Yeah, I mean in MMA, I want to be a complete MMA fighter. I just don’t want to be known for my striking you know. I am a Boxer, a seven-division World Champion. So I want to be able to go into MMA and learn all the craft. It is the mixed martial arts. So I want to be able to know how to do everything and to be a complete MMA fighter. And it’s funny because most of my jiu-jitsu submissions were guillotines. So it brought me right back to doing the jiu-jitsu tournaments.
