"Two guys that everybody hates in Brazil - Conor McGregor and Chael Sonnen. When I was 15 [or] 16, I looked up to Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo, all these guys. [Chael] was talking so much s-t about Anderson Silva, Wanderlei, Minotauro that I thought of buying a flight ticket to go to a UFC event just to sucker punch Chael Sonnen."
"Now I see him and I say, 'This guy is a f-ing genius.' You know, how smart you have to be for a 16-year-old to want to punch you just because of your mic skills."
Renato Carneiro, known as 'Money Moicano', revealed his teenage disdain for Chael Sonnen, who was notorious for trash talking Brazilian fighters. Carneiro considered attending a UFC event to confront Sonnen. However, he now appreciates Sonnen's talent for provoking strong reactions through his mic skills. Carneiro recently fought Chris Duncan, winning by submission, and expressed his views on Brazilian elections in his post-fight interview, acknowledging that while he has mic skills, he does not compare to Sonnen's prowess.
