Filed under: Bellator , Featured , News When naming masters of the microphone in MMA, the two names that come up most regularly are UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor and Bellator’s Chael Sonnen .

Sonnen still does it as well as anyone, but he said neither he nor McGregor should receive praise as those who brought that style to the forefront.
