Sonnen wants Georges St-Pierre bout: 'Everyone would watch that'

[Wild]

Retired UFC fighter Chael Sonnen is eyeing for a fight against Georges St-Pierre if he does make an MMA comeback.

The last time Chael Sonnen was seen inside the UFC cage was at UFC 167 in November 2013, where took a beating from Rashad Evans, en route to a first round TKO loss.

Since then, he has retired from active competition after two failed drug tests and a two-year suspension courtesy of the Nevada Athletic Commission, and has instead been in front of the ESPN cameras as the resident MMA analyst.

But apparently, the 39-year old former UFC title contender has not closed his doors on the sport just yet. In his recent appearance on the MMA Hour, Sonnen says he wants a fight against Georges St-Pierre if he does end up making a comeback.

"Everyone would watch that," Sonnen said…

Chael wants any fight at this point. He kept spouting off about how he was the best at 185 yet i never seen a title around his waist in the UFC, maybe im wrong and missed that.

I would watch that fight. Probably take GSP by submission.

He first said he's done but then Ariel threw some names out there......gsp, wanderlei, vitor and Anderson were named as one's he would do.

He is a bit hazy as to the results of his 2 fights with Anderson though.

Said he beat him up twice - I know he could say that about the first fight but he got mangled in the second one iirc - actually I know he got handled in the second one

Sad to say...but was probably dependent on who had the best peds each fight.

In the second one, Chael took him down in the first round and did exactly what he did in the first fight- hold him down and ground and pound. Anderson got his legs a little more at the beginning of the second, until less than 2 minutes in Chael threw a spinning back fist that threw him off balance. He ended up on his butt against the cage looking up at Anderson, who threw the knee from hell into Chael's chest. That was all she wrote.

I wouldn't say he was mangled, but he was finished relatively early.

GSP would get beaten and battered by Chael Sonnen.

Expect GSP to stay retired especially after that callout.

Alot of people bag on Chael about that spinning back fist but if it was an inch closer, Anderson would have been taking an Octagon nap.

Add in the fact that Chael has come the closest to beating Jones and this fight would be a huge mismatch.

Glad to see you back in olympic gold medal form again.
