Gable Steveson “Torture” Tom Aspinall?! Chael Calls Out Masvidal & Crowns Adesanya

Chael Sonnen dives into the growing narrative around Gable Steveson potentially 'torturing' Tom Aspinall, arguing that the real story isn't about fight outcomes but perception. He explains how a fighter's market value is shaped more by belief than actual performance, using Aspinall's silence amid rising hype around Steveson as a sign of a perception crisis. Sonnen critiques the UFC's handling of Aspinall’s absence and the lack of compelling narrative around his next fight, contrasting it with the media buzz generated by a fighter with zero octagon experience. He then shifts focus to George Masvidal, reflecting on his past claims of a UFC return and expressing regret for how his commentary may have impacted Masvidal’s credibility. Sonnen praises Ronda Rousey’s strategic rebranding of her upcoming fight with Gina Mazzone through the MVP vs. UFC narrative, applauding her ability to generate headlines without relying on traditional fight details. He concludes by declaring Israel Adesanya the greatest champion in UFC history due to his unmatched control over his career, including opponent selection and media engagement, and calls for Paulo Costa to challenge Carlos Ulberg for the undisputed title rather than settling for an interim belt.
