Sonnen added there were plans in Global Force Wrestling for Piper to make an appearance, during which Piper was going to “pass the torch” of “Piper’s Pit” to Sonnen.
Following Sonnen’s claim, “Piper’s Pit” producer Raymond Hernandez issued the following statement to MMAMania, refuting Sonnen’s claim:
“Roddy would have never handed off Piper’s Pit. And if he were to do so, it wouldn’t be to an MMA fighter, it would have been to a pro-wrestler.”
In the latest edition of “You’re Welcome with Chael Sonnen”, Sonnen offered the following clarification of his initial comments:
“I used the term, ‘Piper’s Pit’, because that was the greatest interview segment that wrestling [has] had,” Sonnen said, “all I meant was, I was going to do interviews in Global Force Wrestling.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
