Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen has launched his own podcast, “You’re Welcome with Chael Sonnen,” and during a broadcast he claimed WWE made him a $5 million contract offer at one point, but he had to turn it down because he was still under contract to UFC.
“I was offered $5 million by Vince McMahon…Now, I was still under contract with the UFC and I never took this to Dana,” Sonnen said, via a CageWriter transcription. “I handled it on my own. I told them ‘No’ and that was the end of that. I never told Dana White this story, but here’s why I didn’t tell him. I knew if I called Dana and said, ‘I’ve got a $5 million offer from Vince McMahon,’ Dana would have matched it.”
