“He didn’t say he was going to retire. He said I’m going to take some time off. You don’t just say, hey I’m going to take some time off, maybe I’ll be back, maybe I won’t. You owe it to the fans, you owe it to that belt, you owe it to this company, and you owe it to Johny Hendricks to give him that opportunity to fight again, unless you’re going to retire. There’s no I’m going to take a hiatus, I’m going to take a leave of absence, whatever it was he was saying, that’s not how it works.”

“Nevada is a very scary place. This is the worst commission on the planet. I’m afraid to bring fights to Las Vegas. George knew he lost, his corner knew he lost, Hendricks knew he won, and his corner knew they won. Boxing was so corrupt for many years that the government had to come in and regulate it, but there’s some real issues here in Nevada that need to be fixed. The governor needs to really sit down and make some serious decisions about this Athletic Commission. It’s something we need to look at, this city is scary. They have a lot of work to do. It makes me sick. They better figure out on how to not destroy not only the sport of boxing, but this sport too. I’m blown away that Georges St-Pierre won that fight. I’m the promoter and he’s the biggest fighter in the sport. I should be “woo hoo,” these idiots gave it to Georges, but it’s not fair, it’s not right. Johny Hendricks won that fight and he deserves to get that fight again.”

“I had one problem tonight and that is I fought someone who’s a better fighter than I am. I thought there was spots I could beat him. I come up short in my last three fights in that exact same position. I gotta work on that. I’ve always struggled at 205 to get used to the weight. I can do better than that, but I’m going to have to go back to 185. That’s where I can do my best work; I can scramble and not get held in these positions.” While his recent stint inside the UFC’s light-heavweight division may have seen a first round submission victory over former champ, Shogun Rua. Sonnen is still having problems with the strength of the wrestlers at 205 and as such announced at Saturday’s post-fight press conference that he will be packing down to middleweight.
