Chael Sonnen praises Ciryl Gane before UFC 334 title defense

Chael Sonnen acknowledges Ciryl Gane's achievements ahead of UFC 334 on November 14, where Gane defends his heavyweight title against Josh Hokit at Madison Square Garden. Historically critical of Gane, Sonnen now recognizes his greatness, citing Gane’s interim and undisputed championships. Gane's prior setbacks against Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones added complexity to his path as champion, culminating in his promotion after Tom Aspinall vacated the title. Hokit, undefeated in his career, poses a significant challenge as he prepares for this title bout.
