Chael Sonnen stirred up controversy with his comments about the UFC 324 co-main event. The fight between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes was highly anticipated. Fans were excited to see a former Olympian take on the female GOAT.

But Kayla's neck injury ruined the matchup, leaving many disappointed.

Sonnen didn't seem to care.

"The fight wasn't a big deal because it was just a co-main event."

Fans disagreed.
