Chad Mendes got knocked out in the second round of his interim-championship fight with Conor McGregor at “UFC 189” and Chael Sonnen believes the FANS are to blame.<\/p>\n

Sonnen’s presence in the online community of mixed martial arts has been steadily increasing since the fighter was released from his contract with the UFC. Sonnen has taken to Facebook to post fight predictions for upcoming fights as well as posting exclusive phone calls with fighters in the weeks leading up to their bout. Most recently, he tried to get a hold of Chad Mendes to interview him for his upcoming fight with McGregor and Mendes wouldn’t answer.<\/p>\n

Sonnen took on the traits of an internet troll and sent out Mendes’ personal phone number on social media<\/a> for the world to see! Of course, Mendes has since changed his number. Now, Sonnen is informing the fans of Mendes that they are to blame for his loss for calling him when he was training for a title fight!<\/p>\n

\n

Blame yourselves. You called and text Chad while he was preparing for the fight. Show some respect.<\/p>\n
