Chael Sonnen wants to run for US President in 2028
An unexpected development has emerged in the world of MMA, reported by Zamin.uz.
Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen, known not only for his fights in the octagon but also for his sharp tongue, is returning to big politics. He plans to run in the 2028 U.S. presidential elections.
Sonnen announced his intentions to his followers via his official social media page, stating: "I am in the early stages of building my campaign for the 2028 presidential election.
If everything goes well, my next job will be in the White House."
At 49 years old, Chael Sonnen is not only a formidable athlete but also one of the greatest and most charismatic trash-talkers in the history of mixed martial arts. A trash-talker is someone who psychologically overwhelms opponents with words.
After retiring from sports, he established himself as a well-known and respected analyst. Now, he aims to use his unique rhetorical skills and debating abilities in White House discussions.
In fact, politics is not entirely new to Sonnen. He has previously made serious attempts to enter government systems.
In 2010, Sonnen ran for the Oregon State House of Representatives and actually won the election. However, due to legal issues and court battles related to a money laundering scandal that surfaced at the time, he was forced to abandon his political career midway.
Moreover, Sonnen had openly stated earlier that he intended to run for governor of Oregon. If Sonnen successfully builds his team and launches a campaign, the 2028 U.S. presidential debates could very well turn into a real show.
Watching the king of the octagon make his way to Washington’s Capitol Hill will undoubtedly be fascinating.
