The former UFC star said the story doesn’t add up.Sonnensadid that Allen’s striking and composure make it hard to imagine him being caught off guard by random attackers. He also found it strange that Allen appeared calm while explaining the bruises and offered little detail about the incident.Speaking on his YouTube channel, Sonnen said:"Okay, that statement alone is very hard to believe. How many guys would it take to beat up Arnold Allen, particularly in a street fight? I mean, Arnold Allen’s striking is nasty. Like that, that would, that you’d be right in his wheelhouse. Okay, so let’s just do this for a third time. Arnold Allen got beaten up in the streets. Now, in Montreal, is a piece of evidence in and of itself. These aren’t the streets of West Linn, Oregon. This is Montreal. They eat French fries, and they put gravy on them."He added:"Now, what band of hooligans is going around beating people up? And what band of hooligans has decided that they are not welcoming to tourists and they’re not welcoming to people that don’t speak French? I don’t know. But apparently, there is a group out there. I’m having a hard time with Arnold’s story."
