I saw him winning a fight against the greatest heavyweight to have ever done it and I saw him get knocked out. He then offered an apology and I will tell you it seemed like a very broad apology.

I would hope that none of you would accept it for the simple reason that it never needed to be issued. In fact you don&#8217;t owe us an apology &#8216;DC,&#8217; we owe you a &#8216;thank you.&#8217; And we owe you a pat on the back for doing a great job and setting a great example and for trying your hardest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sonnen did say he&#8217;s aware that Cormier feels like he let his coaches down by not following the game plan. &#8220;The American Gangster&#8221; pointed out that listening to a strategy and executing it are two different things.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Chael Sonnen?
