Chael Sonnen laughs at Conor McGregor's | MMA News
On Monday, former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor announced that his run for President of Ireland was over.
The Irishman, commonly surrounded in controversy, teased a presidential run last yr and made an official announcement in March that he meant to be on the Irish presidential poll.
Former UFC title challenger and current UFC analyst Chael Sonnen trashed McGregor and his ‘pretend’ aspirations to turn into the Ireland president.
“Conor McGregor has withdrawn his pending plans to be the president of Ireland,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel. “There’s only one problem with that Conor, you were never running for president of Ireland,
“You didn’t droop a marketing campaign. I’d love to help you with that. You do not have a marketing campaign. You’re not returning your raised funds and telling your supporters, ‘Maybe next time.’ There are no raised funds. There weren’t any supporters. You’re not coming over to take those yard indicators down. There had been no indicators in the yard,” Sonnen said while laughing. “This wasn’t real. It wasn’t real.”
In McGregor’s statement announcing his withdrawal from seeking the presidential office, The Irishman said he came to decision after “cautious reflection, and after consulting with my household.” Sonnen scoffed at the thought of McGregor consulting anyone before doing anything.

“The most real factor about the phony marketing campaign was the concession,” Sonnen said. “The concession was so clearly written by someone else. ‘After consulting with his household’ he said. I adore it, and no politician, male or feminine, Democrat or Republican, has ever stepped down from a marketing campaign without saying they’ve consulted with their household.
“But when you’re blowing coke, getting blown by strippers, running in and out of court dates for this very thing, oh, by the way, tying a dumbbell to your hoo-ha, it’s a little hard to act as though you’re the guy that consults with family. You’re very clearly the guy that does whatever he feels like. This whole, I talked to my family routine, the whole idea around that was so incredibly absurd.”
McGregor has been out of motion since breaking his leg in a trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. He’s teased an octagon return for years but it hasn’t got here to fruition.
He was anticipated to return at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler in June 2024 but pulled out of the struggle citing a toe injury. The Irishman now desires his comeback to be half next yr’s White House struggle card, and UFC CEO Dana White would really like him to probably headline the event.
