Chael Sonnens råd till Henry Cejudo: ’He needs to come out of his shell’

Henry Cejudo kommer under UFC 227 att ta sig an flugviktsmästaren Demetrious Johnson i en returmatch.

Chael Sonnen menar att Cejudo är ’för snäll’ och måste sluta vara den trevliga killen för att få mer intresse inför mötet.

Cejudo började med trashtalk mot Johnson på Twitter vilket ledde till att mötet sedan bokades, men det har sedan dess varit väldigt tyst.

Det här hade Sonnen att säga:

He just wouldn’t come out of his shell. He just simply wouldn’t do it. He just wanted to be the good and likeable guy, no matter how many times we try to grab him by the collar and say ‘Henry, that spot’s taken — the good guy is taken by Demetrious — but there’s another seat in the car.

He came out of his shell this much in a few Tweets on social media guess what? He got the fight.

I worry as a fan that that was his goal, and his only goal: to get the fight.I worry as a fan that he’s not going to do his part to bring attention to this. That’s irresponsible of him. He will think it’s sportsmanlike of him, he will see it as sportsmanship. That’s also why he’s broke. He just refuses to see what we’re doing here. This is a world title fight, which is a big deal. This is a rematch which historically speaking, is big business — and it’s the co-main, which is the industry’s way of saying ‘we know you can’t do your part.’ That’s not on Demetrious. A little bit of it is. Demetrious is involved in this too, but he’s the champion. He’s the one that gets to be himself. He’s the one that gets to be in that spot because he’s got 12 pounds of gold wrapped around his waist. He’s the guy who gets that opportunity, because he’s the number-one ranked fighter in the world. It’s incumbent on the challenger, and in this case, it’s Cejudo.

Cejudo förlorade första mötet mot Johnson via TKO under 2016.
