Sonnen’s Muhammad theory
“My interpretation of what he (Muhammad) said, he had just received the call,” Sonnen said. “That would really surprise me… If he was just called, why was he just called? Does that mean something more? Let’s rephrase that… for sure, it means something more. What does it mean? That’s the only thing I’m after. If he had been the backup fighter, I assume that that would have been established.
“Why the nervousness? What information came into the UFC that the UFC had to go and book a backup fighter on a card that has six guys in the weight class that are ranked in the top 10 currently?” Sonnen continued. “Does it mean that the UFC got wind of something? Yes it does. How strong is that belief? … That’s a scramble move, to potentially replace your main event one week before, and by the way, not swear him to secrecy… What rumor has the UFC heard that they think might be true? And which of the athletes between Colby and Leon did they hear the rumor about?”
