Chael Sonnen calls Ken Shamrock a “scumbag”, says fight with James Toney will never happen

UFC middleweight contender, Chael Sonnen has today poured cold water on the potential heavyweight clash between UFC “Hall of Famer” Ken Shamrock and boxing legend, James Toney, going as far as to guarantee the fight will never happen.
Speaking via Sherdog.com, Sonnen said:

“I can guarantee you that as sure as night follows day, that not only is that fight never gonna happen, it never was. Ken Shamrock is going around to all these different promoters doing his typical scumbag move getting money up front saying, “You know, I’m a Hall of Famer and I don’t even know if you guys are going to exist, so give me a ten grand signing bonus.”

He takes their money, goes and blades himself in the back, or whatever make believe thing that guy does, won’t show up – guaranteed he won’t show up – keeps their ten grand and goes on to the next unassuming promoter. He’s not gonna fight James Toney anymore than you are. He never was. That fight won’t happen, mark my words.”

Sonnen will have his own hands full when UFC 136 touches down in Houston, Texas on October 8^th as he’ll take on former WEC light heavyweight champion, Brian Stann in what appears to be a number one contender’s shootout.
