Chael Sonnen has his fair share of enemies in MMA, including Jorge Masvidal, who revealed his feelings toward 'The Bad Guy' during a sitdown with George Janko on the latter's podcast. According to 'Gamebred,' his dislike for the ex-UFC middleweight, doesn't compare to his hatred for Colby Covington.
His interview with Janko was punctuated by his public expression of his desire to fight Covington again. The pair had a widely-known grudge match at UFC 272, which was a largely dominant affair for 'Chaos,' who outwrestled a helpless Masvidal, whose only highlight was briefly dropping Covington late in the fight.
"Other than him [Colby Covington], I don't go no problems with nobody, you know? The Nate sh*t is not personal. Me, I want to bust his face wide open for some stupid comments he said."

Masvidal's statement comes in contrast to Sonnen's recently expressed desire to face Masvidal in a boxing match. The former 'BMF' champion, however, indirectly shut the possible bout down, as he only has eyes for Covington. However, he did entertain a possible matchup with Logan Paul.
It appears then, that despite his rocky relationship with Sonnen, with whom he has had a back-and-forth on the internet. Amid the threats, only Sonnen seems to be interested in settling their differences in a proper fight.
'The American Gangster,' despite his trash-talking talent, may not be a big enough matchup to pique Masvidal's interest, as he hasn't been a big combat sports star in years.
Chael Sonnen has an upcoming boxing match of his own
While Jorge Masvidal is currently scheduled to take on Nate Diaz on July 6 in a boxing match, following what has been a tumultuous buildup, Chael Sonnen is set to face his arch-rival Anderson Silva in a boxing match this Saturday. The matchup left the combat sports world in shock, as the fight will mark their trilogy.

Moreover, the gap in experience has been noted, as Sonnen is a wrestler by trade, with poor striking historically. By comparison, Silva is hailed as one of the greatest strikers in MMA history, with previous boxing experience, and a win over former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr.
