Conor McGregor Refutes Chael Sonnen’s Salacious Rehab Claims

by

Recently, it was revealed that Conor McGregor would no longer be fighting at UFC 303 on June 29th. Overall, McGregor was set to face off against Michael Chandler. However, it was revealed by Dana White that McGregor was suffering from an injury. This report came weeks after McGregor had been spotted doing nothing but partying. There wasn’t a single clip of McGregor training or taking the fight seriously. For many fans, this news was an inevitability.

Following this news, Chael Sonnen was on his ESPN show Good Guy/Bad Guy where he was talking to Daniel Cormier about the McGregor news. That is when he made the claim that McGregor wasn’t actually injured. Instead, he was actually going through a bout of rehab. Ultimately, this news was salacious and many in the MMA world ran with it. However, according to a new report from TMZ, everything Sonnen said is allegedly false.

Moreover, the representative explained that McGregor is looking to fight Chandler sometime in the near future. For now, it is unknown when this rescheduled fight will take place. What we do know, is that fans have pretty well resigned themselves to the fact that we may never see McGregor in the Octagon again.

Chael Sonnen Claims Steroid Use Caused Bronny James Cardiac Arrest

by

Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen sparked outrage on X after appearing to claim that Bronny James’ cardiac arrest was the result of steroid use. James suffered cardiac arrest while training at USC’s Galen Center on July 24. He was rushed to hospital but at the time of writing, is in stable condition and out of the ICU. He remains in hospital as doctors seeking to determine the cause of the incident.

While the James family has asked for privacy at this time, some people clearly just want attention. Elon Musk grabbed headlines when he replied to a xeet about James with an anti-vax conspiracy theory. Musk’s xeet implies that James’ cardiac arrest was the result of vaccine-induced myocarditis. Now Sonnen, who has openly admitted to steroid use during his career as an MMA fighter, has also made a baseless claim about what caused this tragic incident.

Sonnen Makes Steroid Claim

Sonnen also took to X to give his personal theory on why the 18-year-old James suffered a cardiac arrest. “If you do not properly monitor, your EPO use you can experience cardiac arrest and die in your sleep. If you do not properly monitor your EPO use, and you go into cardiac arrest in front of other people there is a good chance somebody will get you help in time and you will survive.” Sonnen continued, “If you monitor your EPO use, but you combine it with testosterone you have a whole other set of problems in front of you. Hoping we can chalk this up to “lesson learned”.” EPO is shorthand for erythropoietin, a steroid that stimulates red blood cell production.

Sonnen provides no evidence for this claim. Furthermore, there is no evidence that Bronny uses steroids, much like there is no evidence Bronny suffered from myocarditis. It’s simply a theory put forward with no knowledge of the situation but a big desire to have people talk about him. James continues to recover in private. We wish him a speedy recovery. However, it’s unlikely we have seen the end of unsubstantiated claims about what caused this.

Chael Sonnen Makes Massive Claim On Zuckerberg Vs. Musk

by

Chael Sonnen is one of the greatest hypemen in MMA history. The former MMA star’s ability to sell a fight is on a level no other man can reach in the sport. Not even Conor McGregor has the chops to go head to head in a promo battle with the “American Gangster.” Which is why it might be hard to find out the truth in Sonnen’s interview with Ariel Helwani on Monday. During his appearance on Helwani’s show, Sonnen teased news on the potential matchup between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

Musk and Zuckerberg seemingly have found themselves in the middle of an interesting rumor. The two social media titans agreed to an MMA bout recently through Twitter. The back and forth quickly caught the attention of UFC President Dana White. White has stated that he has been in contact with the pair on setting up a bout. However, no official news from the UFC has been announced on a set bout. But on Monday, Sonnen gave the world some insight into the situation.

Fact Or Fiction With Chael Sonnen

In the clip above, Sonnen tells Helwani that Zuckerberg personally told him the fight is official. Sonnen claims that Zuckerberg and Musk have agreed to fight at UFC 300. The event is bound to be a star-studded affair. As the UFC has rolled out supercard events in the past with UFC 100 and UFC 200. Now UFC 300 could be headlined by a fight that nobody could have ever imagined. Whether or not Sonnen is telling the truth could be the tricky part. However, just throwing it out there that the matchup could take place at UFC 300 is a brilliant move by Sonnen.

If the potential fight ever becomes a reality, it makes perfect sense to be under the UFC umbrella. However, one would have to think that this bout would create the highest buy rate in UFC PPV history. Is the time for talk over? Will Musk and Zuckerberg actually meet inside the octagon? Who do you believe holds the edge in the contest? With so many questions left unanswered, let us know what you think in the comment section. For the latest news in sports, keep it locked in here with HNHH.

LeBron James Accused Of PED Use By Chael Sonnen

by

LeBron James is someone who continues to be at the pinnacle of his sport. Overall, LeBron is still one of the best players in the entire NBA, despite being 38 years old. At this point in his career, fans thought that he would become washed. However, he has proven people wrong thanks to his 30-points-per-game average. Although he has gone through some injury issues of late, there is no doubt that he can be a top-15 player on any given night. It is truly impressive, and it is beyond anything we have ever seen before.

That said, there are a lot of people out there who have suggested that James could be on PEDs. For those not in the know, PED stands for Performance Enhancing Drugs. This is a broad term for any kind of cocktail of drugs that can boost testosterone or other important hormones. While LeBron has been accused of PED use, there has never been any evidence that he takes them. In fact, these accusations always come across as pure jealousy and are pretty baseless.

LeBron Hit With Chael Sonnen Accusation

This week, James was hit with another accusation of PED use, this time by former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen. In fact, Sonnen was on Flagrant 2 with Andrew Schultz, where he claimed to have the same PED guy as LeBron. This means that they allegedly get their drugs from the same person. Overall, this is a claim that Sonnen has made in the past. Although, he has never actually given concrete proof of this. Either way, Schultz was fascinated by the assertion, and it led to some discourse about PEDs in the sports world.

The NBA is a league that does random drug tests on its players and very rarely does anyone get hit with a positive test. After all, the NBA is a far cry from baseball where it feels like a superstar is being hit with a PED suspension every single season. Regardless, Sonnen has people talking, and we’re sure LeBron does not appreciate it. Let us know what you think of the MMA star’s comments, down below.
