UFC legend Chael Sonnen shared how he wanted to be the governor of Oregon since he was a little kid during an interview with Patrick Bet-David in his self-titled podcast.
David asked him, “You’re thinking about running, like here soon, like in the next couple of years?”
To which Sonnen confirmed, “Yes, yes. I don’t know that I’m going to, but yes I’m looking at that right now.”
The UFC star is a big MAGA fan and supports former President Donald Trump.
Sonnen will likely run as a Republican in the coming elections.
He explained that Oregon is more red outside of Portland.
“Why we’re the second bluest state in the nation? It’s just one county, it’s Multnomah County and it’s Portland,” Sonnen explained.
“And the Republicans come in every single cycle and they try to appease the people in Multnomah County, they try to win them over every time. I don’t know why they do that. I will annex Multnomah County. I will put it on Zillow and sell it to the state of Washington.”
The UFC legend also proposed to deputize biker gangs to control crime in the state.
“I will deputize the Gypsy Jokers and the Mongols. I will put a Harley Davidson on every block. We will end crime that day, and I am not joking about that,” says Sonnen.
“They’re talking about school shootings? ‘Oh what are we gonna do? We gotta bring in all this money, we gotta have resource officers.’ I will deputize some good ol’ boys that I know, we will make this go away real fast.”
Sonnen gained popularity for making bold statements against his rivals in games and politics.
In 2016, he expressed his support for Trump.
For the MMA star, Trump shakes up the status quo, is a visionary, and someone who is not afraid to speak his mind.
“I’m a huge supporter of Trump,” says Sonnen.
“When people talk about him, I hear all these political analysts, they’re just terrible. That’s another space if I had enough time I would just go and take over because they don’t even know what they’re talking about. They put on their fancy suits, they sit behind their microphones, they collect a paycheck and they don’t know a damn thing about what they’re talking about.”
“If Donald Trump’s campaign falls off the cliff tomorrow — and history says that it does. The frontrunner never maintains his lead. History says it falls off the cliff tomorrow and if it does, every pundit out there still loses. Because not one of them predicted he could make it this far. Not one of them predicted he was going to run or that he was going to lead in the polls, or that he could maintain a lead with the smallest fundraising and not accepting money from political action committees. They all lose and he wins.”
