Former UFC Middleweight title challenger Chael Sonnen is asked about what he thinks about Kanye West claiming at the 2015 VMAs that he will run for president. The American Gangster gives his honest opinion and doesn't hold back.

What did you think of Kanye West and his promise at the 2015 MTV Music Video Awards?

Chael Sonnen is most famous for his UFC Middleweight run, during which he battled fighters such as Nate Marquardt, Yushin Okami, Brian Stann, Michael Bisping. Sonnen also challenged for the Middleweight title and he had an epic,  bitter feud with former long-time champion Anderson Silva.

Sonnen's light heavyweight run was not as successful, as he lost to current Champion Jon Jones and former champion Rashad Evans. He did however defeat Pride and UFC legend Mauricio Shogun Rua via submission. Chael's feud with Jon Jones was elevated to new highs during the 17th season of The Ultimate Fighter, and he was praised for his helpful and selfless style of coaching.

Sonnen also coached a second season of The Ultimate Fighter in the Brazilian version, this time against Pride legend and former Pride middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva. The two shared an extremely heated feud that spanned multiple years. Unfortunately the feud never came to fruition and the two never fought, as they were both suspended and retired due to failed drug tests.

While he currently has his own podcast, does analyst work for ESPN and commentary for WSOF, and competes in grappling competitions such as Metamoris, Sonnen will be most recognized for his unfiltered personality and ability to promote fights. Often labelled a 'trash talker', Chael revolutionized MMA promotion with his loud personality, often borrowing lines from professional wrestling promos.
