The former fighter and current podcast host has come out swinging in defense of Chael Sonnen, who is currently facing five battery citations following an alleged altercation in Las Vegas.
Schaub revealed on his Below the Belt podcast that Chael Sonnen’s situation was very different from the one that put Jon Jones in cuffs only a few weeks ago.
Schaub: Chael Sonnen was DEFENDING His Wife in Alleged Vegas Battery Incident
“So I think by Chael doing this, it just adds to the legend of Chael Sonnen. He was protecting his girl. And for that dumbass who got absolutely annihilated by the great Chael Sonnen, you deserved it man. And that’s what you get.
This is not a case of Chael hitting his wife like Jon [Jones] did. I think they dropped the charges.
This is not a case of Chael Sonnen being high and wrecking his Bentley with strippers in the car. This is not the case of Chael domestic violence in any facet. And I think everyone should hold their judgement to get more details.”
Schaub claims that Sonnen was standing up for his significant other, reacting to a serious provocation from a drunken member of the public. In Brendan Schaub’s view, the victim – or at least one of them, considering Sonnen is facing five charges for five separate victims – had it comes.
“Here’s what happened. Chael Sonnen was obviously working and he was with his wife and his wife is a f*cking saint and also a dime piece.
And some drunk guy with his girl kept making comments about his wife, saying about her t**s, her a**, right in front of him. Well, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, cause you are talking and disrespecting one of the toughest guys on the planet and definitely one of the toughest ever to compete in the UF. Or Bellator, for that matter.
And you’re doing it in front of his face, then there’s gonna be repercussions. And any guy that wanted to do that for their girl/ladies you got a girlfriend.”
Chael Sonnen has not yet made any comments regarding the alleged incident, a rare occurrence for the former fighter. Chael Sonnen has typically been quick to weigh in on any incident affecting personalities in the MMA world, but we look forward to hearing what “The American Gangster” has to say.
Do you think Brendan Schaub is right and the guy who bothered Chael Sonnen deserved what he got? Let us know in the comments.
