Chael Sonnen recently weighed in on a potential boxing match between Jake Paul and Andrew Tate.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul recently teased a potential fight with Andrew Tate by posting a face-off video on his official Instagram account. The video has since gone viral online, with fans already speculating about a boxing match between the two.

In a recent episode of Beyond the Fight, Chael Sonnen gave his take on the potential matchup between Paul and Tate. 'The American Gangster' opined that the fight is unlikely to take place anytime soon.

Sonnen explained how 'The Problem Child' has made a name for himself in boxing and would not fight a person in Andrew Tate's position. Giving his opinion on the potential Paul vs Tate fight, the MMA analyst said:

"It's awesome, it's entertaining, it's exciting. But it's hard to serve that ...It's very interesting, and there's a lot to risk. It's also not the same thing as it was when Andrew Tate first called for this... and Tate being a four-time champion, he's in great shape, he still spars, he trains all the time right? It's one of these things where you would think, on paper... Tate would beat him[Paul], badly..."

He continued:

"Now we are confronted with the fact, Jake's not going away so easy for anybody. Not for a four-time world champion, not for anybody. It's one of these situations and Jake has his ego too... I think it's an interesting matchup and I think the timing for this is a little bit different now than it once was... but I'm not convinced that we have a fight announcement. I'm not convinced that Jake Paul's gonna box Andrew Tate"

Chael Sonnen reveals 'secret advantage' of Israel Adesanya over his fellow fighters

Israel Adesanya is regarded as one of the best strikers in the UFC, having dominated the promotion's middleweight division for nearly three years now.

Appearing on a recent episode of his Beyond the Fight, MMA analyst Chael Sonnen chimed in with his thoughts on what has led to 'The Last Stylebender's' success in the promotion.

Chael Sonnen believes Adesanya possesses a unique type of spinal flexibility that other UFC fighters lack:

"Adesanya can do something called the pull. It's very rare for a male to have the flexibility in his back. Male gymnasts and female gymnasts do not do... they do not compete on all of the same apparatuses. One has to do with the flexibility. That's very common for females and very uncommon for males. Adesanya has it. So he can do what's called the pull. He doesn't need to bob and weave only. He can also pull back. Anderson Silva had that, Roy Jones has that, [Floyd] Mayweather has that. It's very rare."
