Tom Aspinall hires Chael Sonnen as "media representative" after self-promotion dispute

UFC star Tom Aspinall has hired Chael Sonnen as his "media representative" following their dispute about his lack of trash-talking.

Aspinall, who is ranked at No.6 in the UFC heavyweight division, shies away from bad-mouthing any of his opponents and prefers to let his fighting skills do the talking. His humble approach of self-promotion was criticised by Sonnen, who was a notorious trash talker during his UFC days.

The Atherton-based heavyweight said he was more than happy being himself and didn't need to act like a WWE entertainer for views and money. Aspinall will now rely on Sonnen to do his talking for him, hiring the MMA analyst and commentator to take care of his media opportunities.
