10 Chael Sonnen Controversies We Won't Forget

7. Storming Off "Off The Record"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiNXfPZjB98 Some of Chael's greatest "hits" have come outside the ring. One was the previously examined interview with Dan Le Batard. Another was his appearance on TSN's "Off the Record" with Michael Landsberg. This actually came before the Le Batard interview. OTR has been a mainstay on Canada's The Sports Network for 17 seasons. The show, hosted by Michael Landsberg, often seems celebrities drop their public persona and talk candidly. Wrestlers have been known to break "kayfabe" and be themselves on set. Sonnen apparently never got the memo. Or maybe he did. Either way, this is yet another epic case of trolling from Chael. He would later return to OTR, as part of an effort to raise awareness of wrestling's removal from the Olympics and save the sport. This is the visit he'll be remembered for however.
