“A scumbag move,” Chael Sonnen nukes Hasim Rahman Jr for the abrupt cancellation of the Jake Paul fight

Hasim Rahman Jr is on a rise to receiving hate for being a reason for not honouring the conditions and Chael Sonnen has got on board. Sonnen is a retired MMA fighter with a record of 31-17 and wins over the likes of Rampage Jackson, Wanderlei Silva, Nate Marquardt, Michael Bisping, Mauricio Rua, Brian Stann, Paulo Filho, Yushin Okami, Dan Miller and many more. Sonnen is now a commentator, sports analyst and Youtuber with over a million subscribers.

Besides being the one that was supposed to fight Youtuber-cum-boxer Jake Paul, Rahman Jr is now hot news for the scrapping of the event that headlined his fight with Paul inside the historic Madison Square Garden. The main reason the event was called off was that Rahman Jr was way over the supposed weight limit for the weigh-ins just a few days before the fight and expressed that he couldn’t go much lighter than 215 lbs when he signed the deal to weigh 200 lbs.

“I don’t like if you don’t honour your deal,”- Chael Sonnen on Hasim Rahman Jr

In one of the videos on his Youtube channel, Chael Sonnen speaks outrageously about how Rahman Jr just ceased himself away from having the biggest opportunities in his competitive career for now and for the future. Sonnen talks about how this could be a strategy to get paid from Rahman’s side.

“Top Ramen Jr [referring to Rahman Jr mockingly] tried to pull a scumbag move,” says Sonnen “Now that’s on him, that’s his strategy, some people aren’t going to like it. I don’t like anytime you don’t honour your deal. Jake has agreed to pay you, he’s agreed to put you on Madison Square Garden, he agreed to put you on top of the bill. He has control over all three of those things… It was very serious and very important to Jake, Jake was taking this on short notice. Top Ramen was a lot harder opponent than he wanted, but a lot bigger opponent than he wanted…” he continues.

What do you make of Sonnen supporting Jake Paul in this situation? Who do you think was right? Do you see Paul vs Rahman Jr happening anytime soon? Who do you think wins between them if the fight happens for some reason, not now but in future? Where do you think should Paul steer his focus as of now?
