Paul received a lot of backlash before their bout for selecting a rival who is over 60 years old. Sonnen criticized the former heavyweight champion for his training video in a recent tweet.

Mike Tyson posted a little training clip to X with the description, “Today is the first day.The good times are only getting started. Sonnen, though, was unimpressed.

In November 2020, Tyson—who is 50-6-2 professionally—won an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr.

Sonnen posted on X on Thursday, “In the future, if you’re going to spend five seconds hitting mitts, make sure you splash water on your face and T-shirt first, as a way to make the audience believe you’re doing a training session.”

Notoriety for his two championship matches against UFC icon Anderson Silva and his penchant for trash talk, Sonnen also took issue with Tyson and Paul’s age differential.

On the PBD Podcas, he compared it to Vitor Belfort of MMA boxing Evander Holyfield in 2021.

“In the future, if you’re ever going to spend five seconds hitting mitts, as a way of making the audience believe you’re doing a training session, make sure you splash water on your face and T-shirt first.”
