Chael Sonnen is in awe of Francis Ngannou’s performance against Tyson Fury but thinks some of the post-fight narratives are inaccurate.
Sonnen, like many others, thought Ngannou would be way out of his depth when he stepped into the ring with WBC heavyweight champion Fury for his boxing debut on Saturday in Saudi Arabia. The fight didn’t unfold that way as the former UFC heavyweight champ gave Fury everything he could handle en route to a surprising split decision loss in which he scored the lone knockdown of the bout.
In that regard, Sonnen was nothing short of impressed.
